Ella's doctor visit tomorrow

Over two years ago Ella got a small cut that didn't heal right. Instead of scabbing over, it bubbled. Those bubbles burst, and more bumps sprouted near the initial cut. Over the past two years they have spread all over her body and have not gone away. She goes through stages where they seem to calm down but never completely leave, and then will flare back up again. A few weeks ago my horomones/emmotions got the best of me and I took her back to our doctor again (this is about the 5th time I have taken her just for this). He wanted me to continue to wait it out and not treat it, because the only treatment he knew of was to burn several of the areas to "wake up" Ella's skin to make it realize there is a problem. Because she has eczema, her body does not recognize the Molluscum as an infection. These burns (treatment like a wart) will leave scars on her body. Noah has the same condition just not nearly as bad as Ella's. Last year one of his got infected and the doctor we saw went ahead and burnt a few of the places on his stomach. Which left three scars on his stomach. And did not "wake up" his skin to make the rest of the bumps go away (he has worse eczema than she does). In the doctors office, when our good doctor told me to wait it out my eyes welled up. And he decided that a dermatologist referral would probably be a good idea.

All this to say... tomorrow we will see a new doctor. There are pale pink dots all over Ella's belly and legs from where the bumps have gone away, and I as her mommy don't want to think about her carrying these scars her whole life. I see her scratching in her sleep and I know they bother her. And I don't want her to be self-conscious as we get close to short wearing season.

Please pray that he will have the knowledge to know how to treat Ella in the best manner. And that I won't lose it like a basket case during our first meeting.
