Dermatology visit

Ben had his dermatology visit today. We were once again rushed back to a room. The nurse was washing it down as we came in and had sanitized everything in the room, so I was ok with Ben playing with the toys in the room. Much better than him playing with the toys that anyone could have touched in the waiting room. Can you tell that I am paranoid about him catching measles? The nurse went over all of his meds and she asked about when his transplant was. She also mentioned that she was in the OR during the month of his transplant, so it is possible she was his OR nurse! How funny!

The dermatologist came in and looked over his skin. And while it has improved with the lotion we have been using as well as the cream she prescribed, it is not as good as she would like .It is a lot less red than last time, but it could be better. So, she wanted to tweak the creams a little bit and gave us a new script for him to use. Hopefully using this one twice a day will help and he won't be so itchy. We have to come back to see her in 3 months. I am hoping to also get Klara in to see her sometime around then. Klara has also been having some itchy skin issues. May be eczema, may be something else. But, it is something I would like a dermatologist to look at and determine what it is. The dermatologist is hoping to see major improvement with this new cream by the time we come back in 3 months. Me too!

Playing in the nice clean room!
