The Bag Lady

Unfortunately, our little Lizzy has pretty severe excema, so bad that she spent a couple months of her newborn life just covered in rashes and scabs. She can still get REALLY bad if we don't keep her medicine on her and grease her up at least a couple times a day. I think that one of the reasons that she's so mobile is because she used to just wiggle around on the ground when she itched and then she realized that she could control her movements. If we don't watch her closely, she'll just scratch her ear, ankle, face, whatever, until she's just bloody and its so sad, which is why she has to sleep in the bag at night. The bag is fabulous because it adds an extra layer of blanket when its cold AND we trap those sharp little fingernails so that she can't claw her pretty little face up. One would think that this bag would prevent her from crawling around as usual, but she gets by. Allow me to demonstrate...

all bagged up and ready for bed

I love her little bag.
