Flaky Baby!
Because Ian is so premature his skin did not have time to develop, particularly the epidermis (outer layer of skin). As Ian gets older his skin will begin to mature and will become dry and flaky. This is a normal and healthy reaction and you'll see from tonights photo Ian's skin is now showing these exact signs on his back and shoulders. We let nature take it's course here and never apply lotions of any kind. Overall Ian's day was a good one, with a better respiratory day though Ian continues to use the Oxygen tube for better and easier breathing. Barbara finished her final day of dialysis treatment and is beginning to feel good again.
