I wrote my daughter's name on my arm in a hospital waiting room
Waiting through his daughter's surgery, Tyrel used the condition he had never looked into to make her smile. His story is about perspective more than treatment.

I'm new to the group. Dermatographia is honestly the third worst condition in my body right now, and I haven't had any chance to look into causes or treatments for it.
Today we're at our children's hospital so my daughter can have surgery for one of the worse conditions I passed on to her. So I wrote her name on my arm with my fingernail to make her smile. HANNAH, in raised red letters, sitting there on my forearm while we wait.
That's the odd thing about this condition. It's itchy and irritating and nobody understands it, and then occasionally it's the only trick you have that can make your kid laugh in a hospital waiting room.
Prayers for my Hannah would be appreciated today.
