STINKY FEET

Yep, you read that right. Jacob will probably kill me for writing this entry, but oh well!! So, I took Jake to the doc today for several planter's warts that needed to be treated. The doc had advised me to attempt to take care of them between baseball and football/soccer seasons & this is our one month window. We went for the initial treatment today and as I apologized for Jake's awful and persistent case of athlete's foot, the doc mentioned that we might not be dealing with athlete's foot after all. Come to find out Jake's has a condition that is causing his feet to sweat abnormally more than the normal person. This sweating is causing his feet to become red, cracked, itching and worst of all STINKY! The treatment? He now has prescription antiperspirant for his feet. Yep, you read that right, antiperspirant for his feet. Hmmm...maybe now we can stop putting Irish Spring bars in his shoes when he's not wearing them....
