Hi all, it's 8:30 and I have to go to bed because Casey's been up all night lately.  His horrid eczema is back on his cheek - bloody, raw, and itchy.  It may leave a scar they say...which breaks my heart.  He scratches it all night on the sheets. I've tried swaddling, pinning his arm to his side, tucking an arm inside his jammies, he still scratches his cheek on the sheets.  So I'm staying up and positioning his head straight up between pillows which he knocks over every half hour or so.  So frustrating.  We are going to the dermatologist for the 4th time this week. He says it's the most stubborn case of eczema he's ever seen.  And he's old!  It's just got me in knots.  We've tried natural balms, aquafor, hydrocortizone, you name it.  Please pray for his little cheek to heal if you would....it is really a challenge.

Of course it's nothing compared to Cody's seizures which are back in full force.  He had 3 huge ones yesterday and one today on the way to church.  Turning blue, screaming, foaming at the mouth.  Just hideous.  Last night he was up from 2:00am - 4:30 am and then got up for the day at 6am.  He took no nap today and tonight he fell asleep at 8:30p....but now at 9:30p he's up again.  He just can't sleep.  Consequently, neither can we. 

I'll be honest (what else are blogs for?) Things feel very dark right now.  

So I'm going to go to bed and have a good talk with the Lord about it all. 

Love to you all,

Shawna
