Another Day, we made it through!!

Long day at the UofM, but productive.  Logan is feeling okay about things now that the day is done.

Well, the lotion, cream and ointment regimen now looks a lot like the med list used to :)  Good thing we had a short break and lower volume for a few weeks anyway.

Good news!  No GVH for now!  Looks like a A-typical dermatitis, maybe like ecsema.  Now added a lower strength topical steroid to the list.  Sounds like it could be "allergy" related, although Logan didn't have any known allergies before.  Funny how things go together.  Immune suppression is one aggressive form of treatment for tough dermatitis issues like psoriasis and the like, and low and behold, Logan is tapering off the immune suppressants.

Not to say we understand where it came from, or how long it will last :(  It does appear that kids "may" grow out of it with treatment.  So, grease em up!  Literally :)

Going to try and get a few days away as a family this next week, then back to the UofM for follow up.  We now have another office to visit, good thing the dermatology department is on the same floor, too bad the appointments are as simply set up..We hope a little sun, a change of scenery and a more portable med table will do us all some good:)

See you next week!
