As far as our pediatrician knows, Shalken has calcinosis, a condition where calcium goes toward soft tissue and causes tumors. (This is what I understood our Haitian doctor to say via the phone.) However, Shalken has not had a biopsy yet, and that may show something different. He is a sweet little boy and smiles through his pain. When I looked at him with all his sores and tumors, and I saw what a brave little boy he was, I turned my head, walked away and cried. I pray that we can find a good dermatologist in the States to help him. Sherry
