So Mav is official a part of the Jason Hydrotherapy Team!

I cant even put into words the how grateful we are for the Jason team and the great tub they have created. Mav is like a new kid! 

He can even wear short sleeve shirts every now and then. When I start to fill up the tub he gets so excited, he loves the bath!

Tired of the DIRT!!!

I am so tired of this dirt and so is MAV!!

It really messes his skin up so bad. 

 Nothing much has changed at this point. Still doing the baths but the dirt has him flared up so we are not making any huge progress.  Here are some Pictures:

Before

After two baths (no medication)

After two more baths (again no medication)

He has these spots all over his body but I decided that it would be easier to focus on just one spot for now. 

This is his right knee.

But he is still my Happy Boy!

Just A Little Update!!

Just A Little Update!

Well we have been continuing our baths, decreasing our steroid medication and oral sedatives.

Oh and We got a hair cut!! No more Curls!!

Mav is now able to walk without any difficulty, he is starting to say a few more word and even SIGN a little!!

( Had to take a little break at the Ranching Heritage Center)

Now let me attempt to try to do some before and afters....

(BEFORE)

(A Few Weeks In)

TODAY!!

I hope y'all are as impressed as we are!

This tub has been such an AMAZING blessing for Mav and us. He still has a few spots but they don't weep anymore and seem so much happier. 

Great Picture of My Kid!!!

(I will get her actual web address soon, she is on FB also)

So it has been a while since I have updated.

Mav is showing alot of improvement, not only in is has but just the way his skin feels all together. I wish we had a way for you guy to feel the difference. We haven't been doing any thing different other than the tub and lotion. (No steroid creams!! Only our antihistamine, he still itches.....) We are going to change our diet to a more "clean" diet. Trying to avoid so much processed food. I am also looking into a Vitamin supplement recommended to me by my Fav Chiropractors.  It is called juice plus. Let me know if you have any opinions. 

Here are some pictures:

I love that this is almost gone completely!!

I will load some before and afters soon. We are in a rush, Mav is going to stay with is Mimi and Pa tonight. Scott, myself and the big kids are going to the Mens Texas Tech Basketball Game!

Get your Guns Up!

Its here!!

Do you know what this is?!?!?

If you guessed the Famous Tub you are right!!!

We finally got the tub about two weeks ago, Woot Woot!

The Baby Daddy (Hubby) and Babys Pa spent the weekend building a box for us to put the tub in.....

Mav helped too!!

I did try to take some pictures prior to Mav getting in the tub but it is really hard to take pictures of a 15 month old. So here are the best ones I got:

Alot of Mav problems are that he itches, I mean he is in a constant state of "itching".  I un-dressed Mav got his towel, clean clothes, diaper and lotion. By the time I got back to him....maybe 2 Minutes, this is what I got.....

This was before (literally maybe 2 minutes)

My poor poor baby!!

But here we are in our new life saving tub!!!!

I say life saving because I truly believe that it is. I have not used any cream (other that lotion) since we have started taking baths. Mav has taken 4 baths so far.....

His face is no longer scabby and bleeding. The redness is much lighter. I will try again to take better pictures tomorrow, we just completed our 5th bath. I will continue to take pictures and keep you updated.  

Well I tried to up date the blog but it wont let me load pictures......

Mavs Story

This is Mav

 

On Jan 15, 2014 he will be 15 months old,

and this is his story.

(A very hard story for me to tell)

 

 

Easton Maverick Harris was born Oct 15, 2012 in brownfield Tx.

It was a very hard delivery for him and myself but we pulled through. With in a few weeks Mav started to get a "rash" on his cheeks. I am a nurse so I instantly started doing what I have done in the hospital and used my "training".  We started using aveeno eczema lotion (I have used it my whole life, LOVE IT) change laundry soap to free and clear and minimized all "smelly stuff in our home. Sad to say but nothing helped, the "rash" started to "weep" so I finally broke down and took him to our pcp. We received oral steroids and topical creams. They worked Magically!! Hooray we are over this..........Wrong!

 

 

This is how Mav lives on a daily basis. He cannot wear shorts or short sleeve shirts. If he is able to get to any part of the irritated skin he will scratch at it until it bleeds. We eventually got referred to two dermatologist and two allergist.  More medicine, more cream. We have used about 10 different lotions, two different laundry soaps several sedative medications to keep him from basically hurting himself.

 

Some days it is worse than others

 

It will spread and make his eyes swell, or he will scratch it to the point of bleeding. (Yes, he is always happy)

 

My heart breaks for him, I can see how uncomfortable he is. God gave this little boy an amazing spirit though. I have never seen such a happy baby!!!

 

But........there is HOPE!! Something almost brand new!!

 

Micro Silk Hydrotherapy

(created by Jason International)

 

Scott (the husband and baby daddy) got an amazing new job with God loving Bosses! Through his new job we meet the folks at Morrison Show Room here is Lubbock Texas (it is on Quaker)

 

Carole and Jamie heard about Mav and immediately we got together. They have this AMAZING bath tub. I mean AMAZING tub!!!! The tub uses air to make the bubbles unlike a normal jet tub this causes the bubble to be the size of a pin point. They say not to even use soap in the tub because it will get you cleaner than that. The bubbles get under the skin and basically slough all the dead skin off. Morrison show room has a demo tub for you to put your hands and feel the difference.

 

Mav may have fallen in the Tub, LOL

 

No products were placed in the water, it is milky from the bubbles.

 

Well the wonderful people at Morrison, Destiny Homes, Jason International and a few private donations bought my sweet sweet baby a tub for our home!!

He will be able to use it every day and I am believing that this is a Cure! We are sitting here waiting for delivery as I type this!!

 

Who would have thought that after several skin damaging topical creams, bone damaging  oral steroids, two hospitalizations, traumatic diagnosis (which were not even true), and all sorts of Therapies.......it would take

 

Nothing But a Bath!

 

 

This will be Mavs story!
