Georgia Mitchell
Georgia was born with a rare skin disorder called Non Bullous Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma. Georgia Spent nine days in the NICU in a Tennessee hospital and was born 8 weeks early. She is a bubbly 4 year old who is defeating the odds every day that the doctors gave.
Breif Summary of Congenital Itchthyosiform Erythroderma
The baby is often born in a collodion membrane, a shiny, wax outer layer on the skin and usually with ectropion, having the lower eyelid turned outwards. When the membrane is shed the skin is red with a generalized white scale. Palms, soles and areas on the joints are often affected with hyperkeratosis, a thickening of the layer of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. In classical CIE (unlike LI) there is little eclabion (eversion of the lips), ectropion and alopecia (hair loss).
