Kami's KP is back just as the doc predicted. This time I have been trying a few home remedies. We scrub her face in the tub with one of those baby brushes, this seems to be helping. We have also been lubricating her skin like crazy, my faves are Aveeno oatmeal lotion (smells lovely) and good old vaseline. James' girlfriend puts vaseline on her face every night and that girl has perfect skin, who would have thought. But lately Kami's skin has gotten worse, so I broke down and filled the last prescription the doc gave us. This is cream number 4, I think. Anyway, it is another steroid which has all sorts of crappy side effects so we try to use it sparingly, but it does seem to help some. The last few days have been really bad though. We have also been combining this with some sort of stomach flu that has been off and on for almost a week now. Kami got sick again last night at 3 am. This cleanup was especially fun since the mattress protector is still in the dryer from the previous nights cleanup. So, now I am left wondering if it is a stomach flu or something else. Her face is worse and then we have other symptoms. I am starting to wonder if maybe she was misdiagnosed, everything we try for her KP works temporarily. I should clarify that her skin never gets clear, just better. I am left wondering if she will have scaring from this, I have been told no but still. I have been going through her diet and can't help but wonder if there is something else she is allergic to. I keep coming back to bananas. I think we will try a trial run with banans and see, but even if that is it she doesn't have them all the time. This is so frustrating. Kaitlyn had a similar skin condition and as soon as we got her off milk it went away, even now if she has too much milk she will pink up. Kyle mentioned that maybe we should take her down to Utah and see if they can help. I am thinking of getting a second opinion at the very least. I have also wondered if this could have anything to do with teething. Kami is popping in her second set of molars which might explain the drooling and lack of appetite. I can't wait until she can really comunicate and tell me when something is bothering her, until then I am left puzzled about all this.On a side note I recently found out that there is soy cheese out there. I am going to try and round some up, this might make her pizza more appealing! Also, Ky managed to see the meteor the other night, I was asleep. I thought he was crazy though until I saw it on the news!

I agree with Kyle. I think you should come to Utah for a very, very long time.
