Poison Ivy Attack Again!!

Well, Bryan has managed to get poison ivy all over his body again. This is the second outbreak in the last two months. Last night we turned our entire house into a cleanfest area. We washed sheets, our comforter, towels, clothes, the dogs, and everything else we could think of that might have a hint of poison ivy oil on it. It was not that fun! Today, Bryan's boss sent him home because the poison ivy had spread to his face and so Bryan went to the doctor again to try to cure the rash and itching. The doctor prescribed another round of steroids, an even longer dose and a stronger kind. This is really not good because Bryan turned into a very, very irritable and almost unbearable person to be around the last time he was on the 10 day round of steroids. Anyone who was around him can attest that it was not pleasant at all. He knows that he was a complete jerk and admits it, and this time he is going to make a huge effort to not let the steroids affect him psychologically. We'll see. Please pray that he will feel better soon!!
