Up and down but generally up!

School is going well.  No wheezing, little sniffles and coughs but that could be expected.  I am so pleased with how well school has started off.  What a great teacher to start off his schooling - 14 years ahead…

His eczema is not too bad.  His face is really quite clear at the moment.  When he cries I fear we will be back to square one, as the redness appears, but it is pretty short lived.  After waking up scratching and coughing for a few nights, he seems more settled again.

His body has been relatively good too.  Coconut oil works well in his hair (even applied just before hair wash).  His hands are still pretty bad but given the rest of him is ok, we can cope with that.

I am so relieved that he has had a ‘clearish’ start to school. Unfortunately it is difficult to look at someone when their face his puffy, inflamed, sore looking and their eyes exhausted.   Kids and staff have seen him how he should be - my wee man just bouncing with life.
