It has been a dark few weeks with Diana's eczema, but in the spirit of not only posting doom and gloom, I want to thank everyone who's been praying for us. I think it's really helping. The past two days have been so much happier all around. I hope this means that God is drawing this latest eczema flare-up to a close.
Diana's skin is just miraculously better. The angry redness that covered so much of her body has mostly gone away. Her many scratches have healed up. I gave her an antihistamine twice yesterday, but I haven't given her any today and she still seems just less itchy than before. It's such a blessing to see Diana not be uncomfortable in her own skin, but the part I enjoy maybe more than that is just being able to see and talk to my Diana again, instead of a frustrated toddler in distress. Diana is smart and perky and rascally and sweet. She has been smiling so much over the past two days, and telling me how much she loves me and how beautiful I am. She plays with me and her brother and has an altogether better attitude. Diana has a personality very much like her dad, where she likes to sometimes just sit quietly and think. For the last two days, I've been able to let her do that. She has been able to just stare off into space listening to music or sit in her room thinking or reading a book without being distracted by a scratching fit.
We haven't been doing anything remarkably different with her skin. Our routine is still the same, her skin is just better for some reason. This kind of happiness may just be a brief break in the clouds, but it's just what we needed to help both of our sanity. Thank you so much for praying for us!
