At Isaiah's last appointment, they discovered that Isaiah has a harmless skin virus called molluscum. I know you are all going to google it. I did too and it sounds worse than it is. He has two bumps on his face. Although some websites say that it is contagious, the doctors have said not to worry and that it is not contagious so please don't treat Isaiah like an alien. It is very common in young children who are immunosuppressed. I am wondering myself how he contracted this virus. All I remember is that after he had a fall on his forehead at the playground, a tiny red bump accompanied his giant bruise and scraped forehead. It never went away. That was probably a month ago.
They cause him no pain. It can become a cosmetic issue for some children but considering he's only 2.5, he's not exactly looking in the mirror every day. Some children are covered. Please pray for healing.
My sons, when they lived in Haiti, had them. They no longer do. There the director of the orphanage used to pull them out as with warts... We'll pray for complete healing! Thanks for the blog - it certainly helps in keeping the focus of praying and your family needs!
