Looking for our Adoption Info???

I have closed the original two blogs for the adoptions and have consolidated all the information here.

So if you are looking for information on D's adoption from China, you can find it by either searching under the "D", "adoption" or "China travel" labels.

To help you narrow it down...

Information about the process can be found in February, March and April 2007

Information about our trip to China can be found under May 2007

So if you are looking for information on K's adoption from Ethiopia, you can find it by either searching under the "K", "adoption" or "Ethiopia travel" labels.

To help you narrow it down...

Information about the process can be found in May and June 2008 (including our pre-adoption trip to Amsterdam)

Information about our trip to Ethiopia can be found under July 2008

So the Doctor....

looked at D's hands and said...

Sometimes this happens with kids. It could be anything but as long as it doesn't get worse, to not worry about it at this point. And judging by the responses I have gotten here and on some of my online forums, sounds like there isn't a consensus on the cause. It will be interesting to see if it gets better this summer when she isn't at day care/preschool.

Paging Dr Mom

So she has an appointment on Monday morning but D has been having intermittent redness on the backs of her hands. We had weeks ago and I gave her some lotion and then it was gone. Now every day when I pick her up at day care it looks like she has gloves on. The redness goes from her fingers to her wrist. She says it doesn't really hurt (although she acts like it does in the bathtub- but not when you touch it) In the morning the redness is gone (regardless of whether I give her lotion, or anything before bed) Both schools she attends have not changed soap or anything. One nurse thought it was dermatitis, the other one thought maybe really chapped hands from not drying well and going out in the cold. Right now there is no redness but her skin feels very scaly and rough and leathery. There are no other places ANYWHERE else on her- and it is both hands, but not the fingers or the palms. I tried to do the Google thing but thought who is better for medical advice than random people on the internet.
Thoughts?
