Day 1 went well. It's just a capsule. We mixed it into our daughter special winter treat - hot cocoa. She drank it up. I thought she didn't even notice.. boy I was wrong. She asked me later in the afternoon if I added anything into her cocoa. I told her it was "baby yogurt"... It's tough to have a 3.5 year old comply with a treatment. It's an interesting age where they are much more aware of the others than we think. It's a vicious circle as eczema doesn't like stress and how can you eliminate stress when you know you are different. When you go to a friend's birthday party, all ate cake, you don't - even though we smooth it out as much as possible by bringing a cupcake / treat she can eat... it's not easy...
Day 2 went better than expected. She asked for the powder to be mixed into her morning smoothie.. wow, it was a relief indeed. My only worry is it won't last long as we need to up the dosage every day and soon it won't taste good.
Day 3 has been more of a challenge. Smoothie didn't do the trick today. She didn't drink it all, but at least more than half. We also had to start the creams today. That went well, once again beginners luck, and it's only to the ankle today. Fingers crossed it won't be too bad. Bath additives were supposed to start today too, but she was too itchy to try. We'll start tomorrow, forcing it will only backfire. One step at a time. This is not a sprint but a marathon.
