Just cannot get over it ...

Hi Ladies,

Today i was in a great mood. DD has been a gem so i decided to look back at her old pics and videos because she is growing so quickly.

Im in absolute tears now seeing when she was younger. She had really bad eczema, her face scalp was red, itchy and weeping. She hardly laughed, she hardly smiled.

When i look back at the photos and pictures i realised how bad it was and how irritable she must be.

She's not a really giggly toddler now and i cant help but wonder if it was due to her eczema.

I feel so sorry for her and being so helpless.

How come after 17mths I still cannot get over this and just accept that her eczema has cleared so much (only her hands are always bleeding)

I know people have been in worse situations but im always thinking if only she didnt have severe eczema that maybe the start to her life would have been alot better.

thanks for listening.

Hi, sorry I dont have any advice but wanted to give you a :hug:
I can imagine your heartache thinking of what she's gone through. I hope it clears up all together for her soon enough.

Because you're a mum who never wanted to and still doesn't want to see her baby in any kind of pain or sickness. I get teary when I look at pictures of DD when she was born because she was low birth weight and I still feel terrible she was so tiny and skinny even though she is healthy and average now and wasn't that bad to start with. I think it's normal for a mum :hug:

kind of not what you are saying but... when DD1 was born she had a small hole in her heart and i used to feel like it was mine and DH's faulty for making her that way. i understand how you are feeling. but it isnt your fault and i'm sure you gave her all the things she needed emotionally and physically as a baby. it sux that you and your bub had to have such a bad time of it but i'm sure you responded in love, patience and kindness and all of those things build the foundation for a stable beautiful child and adult hood. :-)

Thank you ladies for your support.

Seeing her now playing with her books makes me happier. Her eczema has cleared heaps except on her hands and bits of her body.
She has her days where the eczema comes back and at night she just scratches and scratches.

I just hope the eczema hasnt scarred her for life and she grows up to be happy!

thank you all once again.
