Good News!

We met with a dermatologist at Children's Hospital today. She confirmed that he has pigmented purpura. She told us that it is not life threatening or anything to worry about. The doctor also said that there is no confirmed study that shows it is related to over the counter medicine or penicillin. We were relieved with this news, knowing that we have family members allergic. Our doctor prescribed a cream steroid to try. She is going to contact our pediatrician to see if they have a platelet count. If not, they will do this and see if that shows anything. She is going to take a deeper look at the biopsy report that was done last year. Due to miscommunication, she didn't receive it before our appointment. She will let us know if she thinks somethings looks abnormal.

We will keep everybody posted!

Caden

Most of you know that Caden was diagnosed with pigmented purpurra last year. His condition is not getting better so our pediatrician has referred us to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. We have an appointment at the end of February. We look forward to talking to pediatric specialists and hopefully understand this condition better. We will keep you all posted!

Holidays 2008!

Halloween

We went trick-or-treating in Iron River, Michigan this year. James was Jason and Caden was a cowboy. It was fun to be back in the neighborhood that Tina grew up in.

Up North

We went up north during Caden's birthday weekend with our cousins. We had tons of fun playing with each other!
