AW--eczema victory!

Guysguysguys! I'm so excited! Last week, the allergist gave us a new steroid ointment to try on Amelia's eczema because our other stuff was doing zilch. Omg. Night. And. Day.
Before allergist: her eczema was everywhere and she scratched all day. I took many measures to keep her from scratching during diaper changes, in the car, wherever. As soon as clothes came off, BAM. Scratching. It became our way of life.
After: her skin is white! I had no idea how pale she really was under all that eczema! And it's baby-soft! But the best part of all is that I couldn't find any places to put the ointment this morning. She hasn't scratched all day. She'll have flare-ups periodically, but I'm so glad my girl finally has some relief!
