Off to Dr. Shin in Hackensack at 4 today... The endocrinologist wanted to send him to get his skin issues checked out - Evidently, there is a link between Juvenile Diabetes and exema. Jimmy had TERRIBLE exema on his hands this winter to the point where they were cracked and bleeding. Eucerine worked well, but we were slathering his hands several times a day and also at night. He's also got funny patches of skin on his torso and shoulders - little bumpy patches. They're different than the patches on the backs of Jenna's arms (which has a name, but I can't think of what it is.)
So, we'll get it checked out today... Dr. Aisenberg (the endocrinologist) also wanted to have his humongous lymph nodes on his neck checked out. You can see them from across the room, and they've been there for over a month now. The pediatrician said they're normal and will go away. After 3 weeks or so, they were sitll there, and Dr. A. said we might as well get them checked out when we went to the dermatoligist.
I'd like a magic cream or pill (or wand) to make this all go away.
Peace,
June
