VeeDub, it is fortunate your family members seem to have one of the mild forms. Also it sounds like they have learned how best to deal with the skin fragility. Like you say, there are people with really bad disease too, and its really heartbreaking to work with these kids. But it inspires those of us who are trying to find new treatments. There will be a national geographic special on EB coming out later this year, concerning what its like to have one of the more severe forms of this disease. Again, if I can be of any help, just let me know. sincerely, Pete
