I must first say that Kline doesn't say itch me......he says "eat me!". Which make this story even more disturbingly funny! He also calls his penis , peenee.
Last night at the dinner table Kline pulled down his pants and said, "eat my peenee, daddy!".... we couldn't help to laugh, right?! But then he started to cry and after a few minutes he could tell daddy was in fact not going to " eat his pee nee!" , at least nit at the dinner table! Kline knew if he cried enough he may have a good change that pushover mommy may. So, there at the dinner table, I "eat" my son's pee nee! What the ........? Thank god we didn't have friends over or that we were out at a 5 star restaurant or at a 1 star restaurant for that matter! The things you do for your itchy eczema baby!!
Kline is very one with his package! In November he had to get an emergency circumcision because his skin is so sensitive his little pee nee holes developed scar tissue and was closing up on him, lots of tests and $3,000 dollars later, he has a "new pee nee". Which he will show to anyone, "see my new pee née!".(oh, it sounds so French when my iPad changes peenee to pee née ) Thank god we don't go to church, could you imagine in the middle of mass......" eat my pee nee, mom, now!!!!!" or " hi father, your holiness, See my new pee nee!".
At night , in the dark, my itching skills are really challenged. He will say "eat me here!". And well, "I can't see Kline!!!!! Where is here, use your words!" So he'll say" my ankle" I'll itch his ankle, and he'll start yelling at me "no, here!!" oh ok son, I didn't realize that when you said ankle you mean the one on your shoulder!!! What was I thinking? This goes on all night, he gets frustrated at me because I am not " eating him "where he wants to be eaten and I get frustrated at him because he is yelling at Me at 4am in the morning!
Kline doesn't just like us to "eat him", there are different types of eating that he insists on.....
There's the regular "eating"
And scratching, which I have taken as " eat me harder!"
there is the petting, "pet me,mommy!"
then the rub.
And Don't forget the tickle
And finally, there is the over stimulate, " don't touch me!"
This goes on most of the night, if not all night and most of the day! I can't wait to see if this gaps diet will make our nights less crazy with, rubbing and eating!?!? I hope to never " eat my sons pee nee" at the dinner table again! That is just wrong!!!!! Xoxoxoxoox Loren

Is the steroid cream working any better? Poor little guy looks so sore. Boy is he getting tall. Love and kisses from Ma & Pa.
ReplyDeleteDad even the steroid cream is burning his so bad and when we put it on he gets all red all over....I think I may stop it. We go to the holistic dr on we'd of next week..I hope she can help. Occluded the Peds dr today wanted him to see another dermatologist, but if they are just going to tell me more steroid cream and antihistamine I may stab the guy! :) xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteA friend shared your blog and asked about essential oils we may have used for excema. My heart goes out to you, because I have had a lifelong battle with excema, and have 3 of 7 who also have suffered with it.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you that diet has made an enormous impact in my excema, as well as essential oils. I want to really encourage you to get off the steroids, as that will make him worse in the long run.
I spent about 22 years on and off steroids and then used steroid creams only during my years of pregnancy and nursing as I didn't want to harm my babies. I have been off steroids completely for over a year and am doing much better. I would have a yo-yo effect of feeling better after using the creams (even though they did burn or make me itch initially) but then I would have this terrible rebound of symptoms later.
We used YL Melrose blend on one of our children and it totally cleared up his rash. My daughter and youngest son got relief from the itching (I also used a non-petroleum based lotion for moisturizing) Getting off gluten definitely made a huge difference for them, and me. I have not done the GAPS diet completely, but we do very little grain, lots of bone broths and fermented foods daily.
I just also remembered that my oldest son had some rashes when he was a toddler, and getting off pasteurized milk and on raw milk cleared his skin up and he's never had another issue with skin rashes.
As I said, "My heart goes out to the little guy as I have spent COUNTLESS hours of my life itching or being wakened by children who are! We are definitely on a journey to healing and I want to encourage you in yours. I think doing GAPS 100% is a great thing and I would love to hear how you all are doing on it. I have just found it extremely difficult with so many, but can't say I won't go GAPS totally soon.
