One thing we struggle with is that

Leo has alot of medical issues.

This has not been easy based on our

lack of consistent medical insurance.

The worst problem he has right now

is his excema. 

 

If we lived in a different part of the

country this probably would not be

an issue.  His skin gets all scaly and dry

and fluffs off.

 

When we spend time other places, it

actually resolves quite nicely and is

not an issue.  But here is is constantly

scratching himself regardless of

whether it is day or night.

 

He has been to the dr of course,

but they only offer palliative treatment,

and not anything that actually cures

his complaints.

 

Some lotion actually burns his skin

because it has alcohol in it and his

skin is already scratched open.

 

Sometimes even if you read the

label you are not sure abou the

alcohol because of all the long

words, so he doesn’t find out

that there is actually alcohol in

it until he puts it on his skin

and then screams out.

 

We try to avoid this, but it has

happened.
