I was terrible with the diet... It is so hard for me to get my kids to eat stuff that's good for them! I wish it just came easier, but I guess that's a stupid wish. I need to take your advice, kiki, and start loving veggies myself.
I did notice one improvement from yesterday... Emily didn't scratch hardly at all today! That is major. She usually goes into her bed 2-3 times a day to scratch. That didn't happen today... no new scabs, or old ones busted open. I only hope that continues... we didn't finish the entire quart of tea today, acctually she probably only had 1/2, which makes me think if the tea is helping with the itching, there should be more of it tomorrow. I hope not, but we'll see.
Try sweet potatoes/yams. I'm telling you, they're FANTASTIC, and so good for you. Just poke some holes with a fork, cut it in half if it's a big yam, and stick in the microwave for like 3 minutes, then turn it over and do another 3 minutes (something like that - it might need a little more time). Then just eat it. It's like a baked potato, only it tastes way better. There are lots of great veggies.
