"Remember salt??"

Poor Jerzi has the WORST eczema in the world! Dr. Rose told me the other day she's one of the worst cases he's ever seen :( I feel terrible for her. We have tried MANY medications and lotions, oil in her bath, tar, rubbing olive oil on her, Tide free laundry soap, pretty much you name it we've tried it! She scratches ALL night long, she actually takes a benadryl type medication (atarax) at night to help her not itch so she can sleep but she still scratches, i can't lay by her, it makes me soo sad! Anyway, our next move is installing a water softner, i hope it works cause it's alot of money if it doensn't. So i was telling her about it because we had to go get salt from Costco yesterday. She is SOOOO excited, it is darling but kind of sad! She was such a big helper getting the bags of salt into the cart and then she couldn't wait to tell EVERYONE! This is how she tells them..
First she says to me "Mom, Remember salt??" And i say ya, tell them about it.
She says that it's this thing that will be in the basement that will come up through her tub and make her so she won't itch anymore. (It's kind of the same way i explained it to her) It breaks my heart that a 4 year old is sooo excited about a water softner! I hope she's not dissapointed.

Sad for poor Jerzi! My kids had it when they were little but it went away, it itched them so bad. I hope it works!
