Molluscum, Molluscum, go away....

come again--never! Duct tape, you ask? The doctor told me there is no medication that the FDA insures for this virus that Easton has, but he said I could try duct tape....
Will a two year old keep duct tape on his face? Only for about ten minutes. (He didn't leave the one on his nose alone....) The other option would be to burn them off, but with Easton being so little, I don't want to do that. So, I guess just wait it out--which the doctor can only give me an estimate--a few months to a few years. (He has had them for almost a year already.) My sister-in-law said to try a cream with silver in it that her doctor prescribed for her kids, so I might see if our pediatrician will prescribe it for me.
Even with the stupid bumps, he is still so handsome!

and a cute one of Keagan, just for fun.

What the heck is it that he has? I have never heard of molluscum. How do they get it?

Don't you think Molluscum sounds a little Harry Potterish? I think you need to brew up some hokus pokus brew for him to drink. But that duct tape thing is pretty crazy! I'm sure things like that are harder on the parents! Mama Liz
