A special prayer

Before I go into detail about the Title of today's blog let me apologize for not updating this blog. There is lots to tell and share; it's just finding the time to do it all and have the computer actually work!! One day though and hopefully soon. Okay, so here's the background. Alexander has been struggling for the past month with his skin. He has eczema. It wasn't so bad to begin with, but a while back he was getting these yellow crusties on his scalp and his cheeks. His cheeks were really raw, red and just oozing. We saw a dermatologist and she told us it was Atopic Dermatitis and gave us some heavy duty ointment. I called it "the miracle ointment" because it was working. After 3 days it didn't seem to work as much. Well as Jose and I were watching it, it seemed to get worse, he was coughing, wheezing -due to asthma, and very hoarse. Monday morning he woke up to having these bumps all over his little body; including his face and scalp. I took him to the Dr. and he has an infection of some kind. I don't know yet because I haven't gotten the results. I think he has allergies, and so a blood test was taken to see what kind of allergies Alexander has. Jose and I have a request of all our family and friends: To say a special prayer on behalf of Alexander that this infection will pass through him and that the bumps all over his little body will go away. We're asking family members to fast if they're able to, but if any friends are willing to fast that would be greatly appreciated. Despite all that Alexander is going through right now he's still a happy little baby with no fever and a strong appetite. We thank all of our family and friends for their love and support and hope you'll say a special prayer for this precious little one. We love you all.
