Good News

Hi everyone, Jeanine is doing much better! She has gotten 2 fairly good nights of sleep (and so has her thankful mommy) and she didn't have a fever at her appointment this morning. Her rash (which I had previously forgotten to mention) is almost gone as well and she is now on oral antibiotics at home, 4 times a day. The first prescription of abx. was absolutely horrid, I tasted it and completely understood why Jeanine couldn't swallow, but instead threw up each time I tried to get them into her. The pediatrician prescribed a different one this morning and we started it when we got home. I am happy to say it tastes like orange and she didn't gag while taking it, so it looks like we're in the clear and she should be perfectly healthy soon! Thanks for all your prayers, we were really worried for a little while that she might be admitted today if she had a fever, but God healed her quickly! I'm so thankful to our doctor who suspected an underlying infection on top of the ear infections because had she not, Jeanine could have gotten much worse before we figured things out.
