I just couldn’t help it–I had to post on this, the luckiest of days, at least according to the Chinese. My day didn’t start very lucky. El Cangri threw up last night, and today he had diarrhea. Yes, the nasty stomach bug. I’m crossing my fingers and wishing that no one else in the family gets it. I don’t know what else to do with this little guy. He won’t take any supplements or medicines. The only things he sometimes agrees to take are Vitamin C tables and colostrum tablets. Of course, it helps that they taste so good. I’m sure he thinks they’re candy. One thing I can’t complain about though, his skin. For once, El Cangri’s skin looks and feels fabulous. Gone are the unnatural red cheeks, the scaly arms, the itchy legs. It seems Heavenly Father has really answered my prayers. When El Cangri’s skin was at its worst, one day I didn’t know what else to do, and while I scrubbed the olive oil homemade lotion from the tub, I prayed that I would happily have the skin problems, if my baby would be spared. Like I said, my prayer was answered, and for three days now, I have had a rash that started on my left foot, and has spread all the way to my legs and arms. The itch is unbearable, like a burning stabbing sensation. And I had thought ICP was bad when I was pregnant! HA! At least with ICP I didn’t have a rash. I’ve had this thing before, but never as bad, not even remotely close to what it is now. My foot and arms look like they’re burned. And I’m sure that with all the friction from scratching, the skin is all burned by now–That’s why it looks so bad. But I’m not complaining. Now I know what my baby felt for two years, and even though my temper is VERY short as a result of the itching and the lack of sleep, I’d rather be the one to have this.
