Eczema and Corned Beef Hash

I completely forgot to blog about the raging eczema that is creeping over Jalen's body since he stopped food and then started sneaking it. He has huge patches in and around both armpits with smaller patches in the crook of his elbow. The one that has been inside his right butt cheek since last winter is growing thicker, and he now has exzema on the other cheek as well. Triamcinolone is doing nothing for this eczema. Jalen has not broken out like this since he was a little baby. We are scheduled to visit a new dermatologist on Thursday, so hopefully this will clear up soon.

This afternoon, Jalen did what I call a "drive-by". He went through one kitchen entrance, around the corner and past the pantry, grabbed a can of corned beef hash, and kept moving out the other doorway and up the stairs to his room. He ate half the can and threw the rest on top of the kitchen trash where Jonathan later found it. At the time, I was sitting in the adjacent computer room in full view of half of the kitchen, and never realized what he was doing.

We really need help.
