OMG, Ann...I am sooo sorry to hear about Wylie!! I tell you girl, our babies are always going through something! You know that Tatum has TERRIBLE allergies as well as skin issues...although the skin issues have not been addressed yet - that is next on my list after she has gotten through all her LP stuff (still 2 more weeks of confinement
). Anyway, now I am getting a little worried because as I was reading your thread, my eyes got bigger and bigger
Over the past 3 or 4 days or so, Tatum has been peeing ALOT more than normal. In fact, about 3 days ago she had an accident (pee'd) in her house and that has NEVER EVER happened, not ONCE since she's been confined to it and she has been in there for just over a month. It was strange too, because I had JUST taken her out not too long before the peeing accident happened - and normally she would have NEVER had to pee that soon after just being let out not long ago. Another thing is that Tatum has extremely dry, flaky skin. I brush her and there are just white flakes
The top of her nose is so dry, almost scab like - that is where she itches THE MOST. There, and on the side of her mouth (her "cheeks"). And sometimes her ears when she gets recurring ear infections. And I don't know if you remember me posting about it or not, but over the last few months I have noticed that Tatum has started shedding. In fact, today we went back for more physical therapy and I was wearing a pair of white capris and they were just FULL of her hair,
just from her laying in my lap in the car
And when they put her in the tank for Aquatic Therapy there were a few gobs of hair floating around in the water
I just don't understand this! I had a Thyroid test done right before she had her LP surgery and it came back perfectly fine. I am just so confused. I am so sick of all the dry/flaky skin, allergies and now hair shedding
Ughhhh! When will it all end?
Oh, and I also (JUST YESTERDAY) started reading up about Atopica online and I desperately want to start Tatum on this! She is currently on Hydroxyzine and has been on it for a LONG time now, but I am thinking that the Atopica will be better. I guess the first step is getting an allergy test done on her - I REALLY want to *try* and find out what all she is allergic too...cause these darn allergies are just kicking her butt!!
Anyway - I just realised that I sat here and typed all this in WYLIE'S thread....how totally rude of me!!!!!! I DO NOT want to take over your thread...but it just seems like our babies always have alot of similar things going on between them so I thought I would post about it. I hope and PRAY that sweet little Wylie will be ok!
I wish I had more advice but heck, Tatum is having alot of these same issues and I am just totally clueless
Give them both huge hugs for me and I will be checking back for updates on Wylie...I will pray for him and will keep him in my prayers as well! Hugs to you all, we love you guys!
