How is Livy doing? Is her skin doing any better?

Dustie -

Thanks for checking on us. The breakthrough has healed and looked

much better yesterday and today. It's still red but otherwise

holding. We slather on the vitamin E oil and the ortho said to go

ahead and use neosporin too. She got some mysterious scratches on

her face at daycare (no one saw how it happened) so I feel like I am

emptying a tube of neosporin on her! The ortho said to check it,

keep the helmet off if it gets worse. We can come in if it gets

worse than it was this weekend. If not, we go in next wednesday for

her regular check up. He said he would not recommend moleskin and

will put in a patch of material that is frictionless (high tech stuff

apparently) next week.

Sohnia, I'm glad to hear that Livy is doing better. I have heard

that, that moleskin works wonders for irritation. Let us know what

he does.

I'm glad she's looking better. I hope her scratches go away soon

too, that's kinda concerning I'm sure. Keep us posted.
