People often say Mitchell has beautiful skin, but if you are around him a lot you start to wonder why it seems darker and different from ours. Actually, his skin can get quite orange-ish. Our OT even pointed out the coloring comes and goes, getting brighter around his nose and between his fingers sometimes. Fearing it signaled a liver or renal issue, I asked the neurologist about this when we saw him.
Liver testing had already been done and it’s normal. Instead he says they see this from time to time when some sort of metabolic issue is present. He said awhile back researchers thought there was more to this. Not so much now. A harmless situation. Sure is nice when we have an opportunity to have closure on one of Mitchie’s medical mysteries!
