All better!

Just to let everyone know, Ryan is all better!  I can't believe how well and fast he healed!  Once all the blisters popped and all that skin came off, he seriously looked like a burn victim!  His entire back was peeling, so everyday he would take his shirt off and tell me to peel his back!  I know that sounds gross, but I really like to do it!  Not on the new skin, just the places that were safe to peel.  I know, I know, some people tell me that you aren't supposed to peel the skin...but I did anyway!  I slathered him with really good lotion that we use on him anyway because he gets really dry skin patches sometimes.  I also put some skin healing ointment on the really red parts of his shoulders and arms.  I was worried that he was going to scar or have permanent skin discoloration.  Nope!  All better!  I have learned from a few people now about swim shirts.  I had never heard of them before, but now that I see them I'm like..duh!  I've seen those!  So I will be trying to track some down for both my boys.  Thanks for all the ideas!  I don't have a picture to put on of Ryan just yet, but I will try to get one on soon!  The human body is an amazing thing how it will heal itself!
