What The Papers Say: Amazing Grace: A Mountain Mama's journey with eczema

Grace was born a healthy 7 pounds and 1 ounce on October 1, 2012. Her parents, Doug and Steph, could not have been more proud of their new baby.

When she took Grace to the pediatrician, she was told that she suffered from atopic dermatitis, also called eczema.
