Chilblains

What is chilblains you might ask? Well, I'd say its just a fancy way to say "cold feet"! We got Madison's biopsy results today and I'm so relieved! She has what is called chilblains syndrome which from what I understand is a circulatory problem when cold feet warm up too fast. The doctor described it as sort of opposite frostbite but one that could possibly result in the loss of a toe if not taken care of. The treatment? Warm feet all the time!! It is time for the Smith family to invest in warm socks, boots, shoes, and tights for little Louella! I guess an electric blanket wouldn't be a bad idea either. I feel so relieved that it isn't something worse and that her toes didn't get worse than they are. I feel so excited that it is not contagious and I can venture out around my friends again without worrying what we would be passing on. So, from now on I will be an advocate of indoor exercise and warm shoes and socks! (By the way, I HATE SHOES AND SOCKS!! I have very claustrophobic feet myself!!) Why are we in Indiana? Oh, that's right, its an awesome place with wonderful people!!
