I got a quick message from the dermatologist yesterday. Jacob's biopsy and labs are not consistent with dermatomyositis or lupus. Whew! I didn't suspect lupus, but it was good to be complete. Lupus is more common in females. OK so this begs the question- what the hell is causing this weird rash? And his poor hands and feet are dry, peeling and cracked. Ouch. The redness is improving, tho. I am constantly chasing him around with steroid creams and Eucerin cream and Aquaphor. And guess what? He runs the other way. Sigh.... He's 8- what do you expect, right? Interesting that the insides of the cream tubes don't have any rashes! HA!
We're having fun in Hawaii, despite Jacob's derm issues. Cambria is napping now, so I have a few minutes to blog. Dave took the boys swimming with our friends that are here also. This is our 3rd time coming to Maui at the same time as them!
Cami is crawling forward more now- my big girl! Regular crawling and army crawling. She waves. She imitates some noises I make. So cute! We went to the luau last night. She actually fell asleep at the end- even with the loud drums in the background!
Jacob and Zachary and Dave went surfing the other day- they did great for their first surfing lesson! :)
That's all for now....
