Well, here’s the debut of the family blog. And the first post is about my oldest son, Cinco, and his doctors appointment. Jango had one too, but I couldn’t make it, so I am going to reschedule it for early next week.
Cinco has had a bad eczema breakout on his face for a while now. We put on the hydrocortisone cream as told the last time we went to the doctor, and even tried a Neosporin type medication to get the scabs on his face to heal. Nothing seemed to be working, so we thought it was that he was allergic to something, particularly food. Hence the doctors appointment.
Richard took him to the doctors because I made the appointment on his day off, and I would’ve went, but my asthma was acting up, so I stayed home with the youngest. First off, Richard had to hassle with the new insurance he got from his job. That seemed to have taken forever. Then later on in the appointment, they accused my husband of being a bad parent by not getting him into the doctor sooner. We took him to the doctor right after his second birthday, when the problem was getting bad. They found that in their records later, but come on!
So now I have an antibiotic cream to put on his face twice daily, a stronger version of hydrocortisone cream to put on his face twice daily, and some cream called Aquaphor, which is a mosturiser, to put on his face four to five times daily, and once on his body, for two weeks. It already is starting to work, which is great because the other way we were doing it, you would see something a week later or not at all. Then it is the follow up visit. I was told that the dermatologist that they finally referred us to gave him these medications, not the doctor. The skin appointment was on the same day, so Cinco was sent over there after the initial doctor visit.
Hopefully I’ll update about Jango’s visit to the doctors. His will be just a check-up and immunizations.
