Molluscum





Ezra has been having skin problems ever since he was born. Right before Easter Ezra had to get what they call molluscum surgically removed. We have been taking him to the doctors to get them scraped off but it was just to hard on him and especially on Matt and I. So our doctor and I decided it would be better if we put him to sleep and he could get all of them off because he was just covered. They looked like little white heads all over his body it was just so sad. Our nurse was so amazing, Ezra got to bring his favorite bear which was his batman bear and his blanket. She got him batman stickers for him and bandages for his bear so Ezra could put them on the bear. That made him less nervous to leave us, he got distracted by putting the bandages on the bear as they were wheeling him out. After he woke up he was a little sad and a little in pain. So he got some pain killers and after that he was a loopy boy. He is all good now and they have pretty much cleared and went away.

It's amazing that your doctor would suggest undergoing the risks of surgery to remove molluscum when there are effective topical treatments that are safe. There are some new ones that your doctor may not know about (for example, see www.molluscum-contagiosum.net) Also, you son may very well get new molluscum bumps in the coming weeks so don't be alarmed if that happens. Eventually his immune system will get rid of the virus entirely, but that can take 20-30 months. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Today was an amazing Valentines Day! I got to go to the temple and receive my endowments today. It was such an amazing experience and I love everything about the temple it is such a beautiful and sacred place. I have been blessed with so much in my life. I love my amazing husband who has taught me the teachings of our Heavenly Father. I am so blessed to have a husband who is worthy to have the Priestood. I am also thankful for my little one (Ezra). He has taught me so much about life and I could not have asked for a better son. We will be getting sealed next week in the San Diego Temple. I can't wait for that day, I will finally be sealed to my little family for Eternity. What an amazing feeling that will be. I also want to thank everyone who was there to support me today. You know who you are and I love you all so much. I am so blessed to have so much support from my Family and Friends. Thank you!

So I was just cleaning around the house while Ezra was playing with his toys. Then all the sudden it was dead silent and as all mothers know dead silence equals trouble. So I went into the kitchen to find Ezra eating the flour out of the cupboard.
