Some Molluscum, A little Bit of Cake and Thank God He’s Coming Home!
Posted by Dr. Cason on Tuesday, October 28th, 2008
Ok for all of you that missed my Medicine Mondays last week (Because I didn’t post it. We just chilled to the kids playing) here is a good one: Molluscum Contagiosum.
I answered a readers questions regarding it on MommyMD.org.The cool thing about doing these questions is I invariably learn something new. Like did you know that Molluscum has two peak incidences? Early childhood and then early adulthood. (The latter is because it can be sexually transmitted. I never thought about this). Also I learned that you may see it a lot in tropical areas- This makes sense. Guam has tons!! This is mostly because there is little clothing on children in hot areas and direct skin contact is required for inoculation. That and it can be transmitted by towels or gym equipment. I wonder if it lives longer in humid areas??

I’m munching on some homemade soy ice cream cake for Miss Blue Eyes who just turned 6. We’ll celebrate it here in a few hours. I can’t believe 6 years ago I brought that sweet bundle home and I haven’t felt caught up since.
Oh who are we kidding? I’ve always been organizationally challenged. Just ask my family. My husband says the house is a study in entropy. There are little pieces of Sheila dropped everywhere…”Hey!” I say I mock outrage. Sometimes it’s mock hurt. Sometimes it’s not mock at all. I really do try.
Which brings me to my last point.

He’s coming home.
And no the dishes aren’t waiting for him. The kid’s room is redone. The bathroom mirrors are shining. The candles will be glowing.

Kathleenon 28 Oct 2008 at 5:02 am 3Happy Birthday to Little Miss Blue Eyes, and congrats to Mommy for all the hard work. Now forget this computer and us, go enjoy your time together celebrating, and give that handsome guy a big welcome home kiss. Today is a very special day with your family. Thanks for the sweet update though!

kcinnovaon 28 Oct 2008 at 5:41 am 5Oh, and I agree on the humidity part of molluscum. I’d never heard of it with my first 3 kiddos, but my last one was a preschooler in San Antonio, and he fought m.c. for 2 years.

Dr. Casonon 28 Oct 2008 at 2:39 pm 9Hi Thanks everyone! I am feeling a little “caught” up. Just in time for another project to wreck havoc to my routine!
Oh and I didn’t make homemade Ice Cream- Ugh. Wrote it wrong. I made homemade ice cream cake.
