Spiffy New PJ's

I amazed that I posted about these awesome pajamas from Europe on Saturday, and less than 5 days later I already had two pairs show up on my doorstep! Sam is one lucky boy to have some amazing people in his life who care so much! THANK YOU!! You are an angel and we love you!! (you know who you are). I am so impressed with the softness and quality of these pjs, I put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes while Sam was bathing so they would be cool on his skin before bed. (I had washed and dried them earlier in the day). I thought Sam might be upset initially about having his hands completely enclosed but he seemed to think the mittens were neat and was showing them off to his older siblings. Sleeping peacefully now. It comforts me so much to know that if he does wake up itchy tonight (likely, since he was so red after bath time) that he won't be able to damage his skin.

About Me

I am CJ, mother of three. Our youngest, Sam, has had eczema from birth. At 9 months that eczema became severe (covering 95% of the body). From that time forward Sam's body was constantly inflamed with the only relief coming from topical steroids and other drugs. As soon as we'd stop a drug, Sam's skin would flare right back up from head to toe. I knew this band-aid method would never get to the root of the problem. Like many mothers of children with eczema, I quickly became frustrated with the lack of answers from our pediatrician and allergist and unwilling to accept that a lifetime of steroid cream and allergy medication is the only cure. I knew there must be something causing the eczema that we could uncover and eliminate. This is the record of our journey- how I came to find a long term and drug-free solution for Sam's eczema.
