2 Days Before TSW

May 2. 2018
My birthday was May 3. 2018
Diego started on oral Prednisolone I think last week of April. His pediatric derm Dr P was seeing us every single Friday. After his ER visit on Feb 28.2018 for asthma attack he developed eczema on his eyelids. It was so bad he woke up his eyelids were glued shot. I would carry him to the bathroom. Wait for the water to get warm and gently scrub it off. Diego said it hurt. My heart hurt. We tried him on Singulair after that ER visit and wow the immediate change in his happy crazy personality. He told us I don't want to sleep I'm scared. I was thinking what the hell is going on? He had tantrums like toddler cry out sessions that week and his eyelids were so itchy he itch in the backseat when I drove. I called the Pediatric NP and said we had to stop. I already done research on singular. So we went to a pediatric ophthalmologist.
There's only one in our city. $220 each visit. She prescribed an ointment for his eyelids and he screamed when we put it on he said it burned. The next morning looked like an allergic reaction looking back. These ointments were $40-50 a piece. Diego just looked sick. Then we were on antibiotics. He had some eczema on creases of arms behind ears scalp and groin and armpits. We were prescribed TS and Prednisolone. I trusted Dr P. But after this pic was taken and we had to go from 5ml to 4ml of oral steroids we saw a big change.

10 MONTHS TSW 3 WEEKS AFTER PREDNISOLONE DOSE 1ST DOSE OF 2019 This picture popped up on my album. January 10/11, 2019 Not sure the date we took Diego to the ER for the first time that year. I don't feel like explaining the whole situation at the moment. He ended up taking prednisolone and w head to finish a course at home. I remember crying when they presented the treatment to us and Diego just didn't seem to get better. I looked at my husband and I know we were both saddened but breathing trumps everything. So his skin did get a bit better and all the moms told me to enjoy this "honeymoon" phase because it won't last long. It didn't. I think around this week he would scratch his arms hard and intermittently throughout the day. I was frustrated. TSW skin started where we left off. Then just got worse

Diego outside during the day for the first time in 2018 after starting TSW

 In October 2018 we were getting in the rhythm with Diego’s stage of TSW. I was getting ready to go back to work. I wasn’t happy about it but my FMLA ran out pretty quick and my job was short handed. I also felt comfortable going back to work and leaving Diego with my husband. We had friends and family take turns  picking up our daughter from school. It was worked out. This video popped up on my memories. This was the first time Diego wanted to go outside voluntarily. It was almost Halloween and I was worried he would not want to trick or treat. He woke up ate breakfast and I had the sliding door opened a little to let the breeze in. He said mommy I want to go outside. I said YES lets go. It is so hot in Florida and humid. The only time we ever went outside was night time around 8pm. I would have him scooter around the court. I even asked on IG for letters so Diego would walk to the mailbox and get them. Friends sent cards with stickers and even toys. Diego received so much support in
