Last Thursday was a re-evaluation of Reagan's asthma/allergy meds...both daily and rescue!
It just seemed that ever since it turned cooler/warmer/cooler, we have been fighting with her cough, nose and eczema to an extreme, so we scheduled a visit with her specialist!

We always dress up cute to see Dr. D and he loves Reagan!




Though the office moves relatively quickly, we do a lot of laughing to pass the time!




This time the waiting was longer than usual, and this was Reagan's response to it all! HA!


Dr. D did a lot of adjusting to her daily meds and we already see a marked difference!
The strangest thing he recommended, but is working, is to add 1/2 cup of Clorox bleach to her bath water. When eczema is flared up, bacteria is what fuels the itch...so the Clorox kills the bacteria and helps take away the itch/inflammation! Amazing results in just a few baths!

If your child isn't asthmatic and doesn't have food allergies, count your blessings!
However, she is PRETTY CUTE...dry skin, cough and ALL!!!!

We had a really bad case of moluscum and different ones of them got infected. Our pedi recommended 1/4 c of bleach to a half full bath. Sounds soooo strange, but I agree it works!!!

She looks so pretty in pink! I am soooooo glad you are seeing an improvement in her skin. Clorox is pretty amazing!
