What a poorly boy!

I had to take Thomas to the doctor on Wednesday as he had a rather nasty rash on his head and body. Our worst fears were confirmed when he advised that it is Eczema. Luckily it wasn't very bad so he prescribed some moisturiser to apply twice a day. Unfortunately since then the rash has got a lot worse, the patches on his head look so painful for the poor little boy, but he still has lots of big smiles for us even though he is itching so badly and he is desparate to scratch it...what a very brave little boy! He has even managed to roll over from his front to his back a few times this week.
We've just bathed him, applied the cream and put him to bed, the whole process took ages as you don't want to miss anywhere. To top it off he's got socks on his hands to act as make shift scratch mits...poor little boy!!
It is breaking out hearts to see him in such distress and would take it from him in the blink of an eye if only we could. We pray that it will go as quickly as it flared up and also hope that he is not allergic to Mormor and Morfar's dog as that would mean we would have to stop going to their house....fingers crossed!!
Signing off now are a very sad Mummy and Daddy. XXX
