中秋節是妹妹的半歲生日，P爺爺的農曆生日也正好是這一天，於是提前到周末給他們爺孫倆一起過了一個生日。一桌子的好菜妹妹能看不能吃，隻好拍桌子蹬腿很鬱悶的樣子；等到我們切生日蛋糕的時候，妹妹早就已經呼呼大睡去了，更是連蠟燭是啥樣都沒見著。
最近時常有認識的、不認識的朋友發悄悄話給我，問起妹妹的近況。在這裏我一並表示感謝和歉意。感謝朋友們的關心，同時也為沒有及時發布更新而表示歉意。
妹妹的病例在專家的眼裏屬於非常樂觀的一類。7月底的時候妹妹動了個手術，瘤體被完整、徹底地切除了；根據病理切片和實驗室的結果，專家認為連預防性的化療也不需要。我們需要做的，就是定期複診、定期檢查，如果兩年之後相關數據不再反彈，那麽就可以認為是“痊愈”了。
小孩子的恢複能力是驚人的，妹妹術後在醫院裏住了一個星期，回家之後稍作調養就又恢複了生龍活虎的本色。
人都說“老大照書養，老二當豬養”，我們家的老二到目前為止還是“照書養"。什麽時候開始添加輔食，添什麽樣的輔食，完全照著手冊來，還是一點不敢閃失。妹妹的食欲明顯比她哥哥好得多，根本看不得人吃東西，家裏人的晚餐時刻是妹妹最興奮的時候，坐在小車裏看大家吃飯，手舞足蹈，逮到機會就到桌子上撈一把，撈到誰的飯碗就拽過來舔，那樣子看起來真是“作孽”。
能吃輔食了之後妹妹的“日子”好過多了，喝完奶之後有米粉吃，還有胡蘿卜、紅薯、香蕉、蘋果泥，妹妹沒有一樣不愛的。前兩天更好了，妹妹滿了半歲之後開始有“葷菜”吃了，午飯給增加肉菜，先給她試的是雞肉（糊），大口喂之前先讓她舔了下小勺，妹妹臉上於是就有毫不掩飾的驚喜，心想這東西可比胡蘿卜香多了！沒兩下一大勺的肉糊就下肚了。真是讓人高興。
這兩三個月以來，電腦裏的照片又攢了不少，有空慢慢地貼吧。
四個半月的時候第一次理發，我給推了個小子頭，妹妹居然沒怎麽哭。
這張照片我很喜歡：妹妹5個月的時候開始能側睡了，小豬一樣可愛極了。
P陪著妹妹玩，可以掙點小零花錢。
P經常嫌妹妹老粘著他，偏巧妹妹就愛跟著哥哥玩，隻要能擠在邊上哪怕哥哥不睬她也行。
妹妹現在已經很會坐了，手上抓個東西可以玩好一陣子呢。就是臉上好多的疹子，跟P小時候一個樣。

祝福妹妹!!!
妹妹臉上的紅疹子不像俗稱的“奶癬”，我們估計也是由於添加了輔食之後對某種食物成分過敏造成的。眼下我們什麽都沒有給妹妹用，隻是盡量保持皮膚不要太幹燥，還有不要讓她自己去搔抓。
氫化可地鬆(Hydrocortisone)我們不太願意用，主要原因是這畢竟是腎上腺皮質激素類的物質，長期使用會使人體的細胞免疫、體液免疫功能減弱，從而引起繼發感染，比如真菌感染。
YY提供的資料很不錯，這個周末我會到Whole Food去逛逛，爭取把那個方子配齊了試一下。效果如何我會上帖子更新的。
還有，P比妹妹大7歲；但生日隻差一個月。
小的一般都喜歡跟大的，喜歡玩大孩子的玩具（雖然他／她還不見得懂的怎麽玩，可就是喜歡 ：）。 請問 P 和他妹妹年齡相差多少？
“逮到機會就到桌子上撈一把”“毫不掩飾的驚喜”哈哈，太熟悉了。
謝謝YY~.~ 將治療eczema的方子貼在這裏, 小兒8個月了深受其苦, 我們沒辦法隻好一直用hydrocortisone.這下好了, 有all natural的可以試一下.一直知道hydrocortisone不好, 不過到底有什麽壞處還是不很清楚, YYmm 可以解釋一下嗎?謝謝先!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
妹妹的樣子實在是太可愛了！ 我看著她的笑容心裏也不由自主地樂開了花：）
Is the rash eczema or other causes like food?
Attached is an eczema oil mixture, totally naturally.
Eczema oil mixture
(Info from a friend, olive oil formula is inside this message)
Dina,
I have had eczema all my life and my twin sons have it, too. I have seen EVERY dermatologist on the planet and also had allergy shots as a kid and adolescent. All avenues were explored including food allergies (too hard to isolate), external irritants (too hard to control), and regular allergies. Getting on a pre s c r i p t ion allergy med helped my itchy eyes and runny nose but not my eczema. I did a ton of research and decided I was sick of using steroid based products (hydrocortisone....) because the long term side-effects are scary as you said, it's only a quick fix. To make a long story short, I mix an oil myself and here is what I use it for: I mix it into tepid bath for my boys (who are bathed every night), I add it to their nightly lotion and shake up the bottle (Aveeno), and I use it straight on their face and body if need be. In other words I use it EVERYWHERE!!!
Here's the formula:
5 parts ORGANIC, EXPELLED OR COLD-PRESSED, EXTRA-VIRGIN olive oil
3 parts 100% pure vegetable glycerin
2 parts ORGANIC, EXPELLED OR COLD-PRESSED, sesame seed oil
1 part SWEET almond oil.
All products can be found at a health food store or grocery store health food section.
Shake up the mixture every time you use it. Every ingredient in this mixture is not only edible, you CANNOT overdose on it. The only problem is that it is not a quick fix. It may take weeks before the product works, but it will help to soothe in the meantime, and you should notice a difference after the first few days. But it has worked wonders for me and you are talking to someone with whom until I started mixing it would break out on every inch of my body and scratch to the point of depression. It was horrible. But when my sons developed it, I decided they were not going to suffer like I did, and that I was not going to soak them in 'quick fix' drugs. The exact cause of eczema is unknown. Sometimes my son will eat something (like cantaloupe) and his face will break out. Luckily if that happens I know to avoid that particular food and just use the oil more often. Heck, you can rub it on 20 times a day if you want. Here are some tips I have picked up over the years. But the fact remains they do not know what causes it, although genetics is a factor, and it commonly accompanies asthma (which I have) and allergies (which I also have).
1. Don't use 'baby' products like Johnson and Johnson. They are loaded with perfumes ( a major irritant for eczema skin). I use generic Cetaphil soap (about $3.50 a bottle if you buy it at Wal-Mart and buy the generic). It is completely fragrance free and has no alkalinity. I use it to wash them and their hair. It works great. A soap does not have to "lather" to work. Another myth is that you have to wash the whole body to get clean. Not true. I add a squirt of the Cetaphil to the bath water and just scrub them from that. You only need to scrub the areas that create bacteria: the armpit, the hands, feet, and buttocks and crotch area (and of course any spots that are obviously soiled. Do not rub the body dry...just dab with a soft towel. I add the oil to the bath because it helps the water not to dry out the skin. The skin will retain moisture which is major problem for eczema skin, it is dry and cannot retain moisture well. Glycerin helps pull moisture from the air and draw it to the skin. Olive oil is a moisturizer but will not clog the pores so the skin will breath but is also a natural anti-microbial and helps kill germs that irritate eczema skin. Sesame seed oil had known properties for fighting eczema as well as sweet almond oil (this is a very powerful anti-itch oil but you don't want to use it in full potency...that's why I add only one part to the five). But if the eczema is REALLY bad yo don't even need the lotion. Just add the oil directly to the body after the bath. Once again, it will NOT clog the pores, and it leaves the skin feeling so nice. (It does stick to bath toys, though...oh well...it's worth it.)
2. Avoid "scrubbing" the skin. This thins the much-needed natural oils on the skin.
3. Avoid "perfumes" in products. One of the best moisturizers I've ever used is Neutrogena Fragrance Free Hand lotion. I use it on my face and lips and my eczema is gone...it is glycerin based.
4. Hot water is bad for eczema skin but so is very cold water. Tepid water is best.
5. Moisture in the air can help but keeping the skin moisturized is much better.
6. Avoid fabrics on the skin like wool, cashmere, silk, and mohair. These are all eczema irritants. Polyester doesn't bother it, but cotton is best.
7. DEFINITELY avoid down comforters, down coats or any type of "bird feathers." We had down comforters in my home while I was growing up and I have now found out that down is a MAJOR irritant for ANYONE with allergies or skin problems. I have been totally safe by just making sure all my linens are either cotton or have polyester fill. Polyester is warm and comfortable and hypo-allergenic. That goes double for pillows!!!! Down pillows will irritate eczema severely.
I hope this helps. You might need to use it for several weeks. But I have noticed, the more it is applied the better it works. You may feel like your rubbing it on your baby all the time, but it feels good (my boys skin is totally healed - but I have to keep using it) and it's better than drugs. See what you think and let me know...I'm anxious to know if it works for anyone else as well as it has for me.

There are a few things to add to the mixture that will help it 'keep.' You can add drops of grapefruit seed extract (health food store), or drain a few tablets of vitamin e into the mixture. The problem is, I don't know how much of either to use. I don't keep mine in the fridge because it gets used up so quickly, but I live in Wisconsin and as it's 26 degrees right now (a warm day), preservation is not a huge problem. I would recommend that you make a large batch and store it in a large, dark bottle. The olive oil or sesame seed oil you buy will probably come in a dark bottle...most of the organic stuff does. Store the majority of the mixture in that and what I do is I fill up a couple of lotion bottles with pumps. I keep the lotion bottles all over the house so that it's handy when I want to slather some on Nicholas' face. I keep a pourable bottle in the bathroom as I pour a large amount in with the bath water, but for using directly on the skin throughout the day, put small amounts in the lotion bottles, shake them up EVERY TIME YOU USE IT, it really separates, and just pump out what you need. When it gets low, wash the lotion bottle and refill it with the mixture in the fridge. In the fridge it will keep for up to 3-6 months.
妹妹臉上於是就有毫不掩飾的驚喜
》》好可愛的妹妹，象女兒小時候。看見外婆端著碗經過就開始笑了。
妹妹笑起來和媽媽一模一樣，太可愛了！臉上的疹子是食物過敏嗎？我們孩子小時候吃了某些食物後就這樣，起先不知道原因， 後來做了過敏試驗， 才發現是食物過敏，2歲後就慢慢好了
