Dermatologist Follow Up Again

Darrin took Miles to his follow up appointment (to this visit) with the dermatologist today. Darrin said that she took one look at it and said that all three spots (stomach, bottom & foot) were all birthmarks. When she saw him two weeks ago the spots were irritated by dermatitis or eczema, but now they just looks like birthmarks. Random fact: birthmarks like this are typically on one side of your body. Miles' three spots are on his right side.

Since we began treating them two weeks ago, he has not complained one time. On our initial appointment, the dermatologist basically said that the spots would not go away but that we could make them better so that they didn't bother him. I think we are at that point. I'm happy that he's not hurting, and the spots look a lot better now too. We are scheduled to go back in February but if all is well then, we may be cancel. I'm content with her assessment and his progress.

After the appointment, Darrin took Miles to the mall to jump on the trampoline again. Unfortunately no one ever showed up to help them, so they had to settle for this...

...and this...


He did get to see Santa. Apparently Santa shook his hand and Miles handled it like a big boy instead crying out of complete panic & fear, which is what usually happens when he encounters someone dressed up as a character. Way to go Miles!
