These bandage clips mark the amount of sleepless nights Chubby and I had dealing with his eczema.
The wounds that bled, the itch that woke him up every single night, the amount of bandages and creams we used, and the emotional toll it took on both of us.
I woke up the next day cranky.
Mommy hulk, he said. And yeah, he was a little Hulk too!
It is quite surprising to me how much the lack of sleep affects a person. It just brings my whole energy level below baseline.
I am glad I can finally say the worst is over. We can finally sleep.
Though the itch still comes back sometimes and some wounds come back too, at least now it is within control.
Hugs to all the other mamas who are going through this. ❤️
It was tough, but there will be an end to it.
