Day 2

Diana's trouble spot. Despite her lack of itchiness on Day 1, her skin condition actually worsened.

Ankle healing up.
Diana was very itchy when I changed her this morning. Come to think of it, she's very itchy EVERY morning. As we saw over the course of this diet, her itchiness doesn't really correlate with her skin quality. Sometimes it is more closely related to boredom, anxiety, habit, and in the case of scratching in the morning, probably dryness from not being moisturized or hydrated all night.

Diana's diet was basically the same as yesterday since we had leftovers: corn flakes, fruit, meat, and rice. She'll still scratch when her clothes are off, but it's much less than normal. She also still scratches when she's upset. Unfortunately, I stayed over at girls' night way too late with the kids and Diana became a tired, weeping mess, so there was LOTS of scratching when we got home long past her bedtime. There was so much crying that I forgot to even get pictures of her skin.
