Update: Success!

Lily has just taken her entire dose of antibiotic for the night!  Praise the Lord!!!  Laying down on her back on the sofa, I squeezed a drop at a time into her cheek with a medicine dropper.  I'm so thankful!  Lily remains smiling and pleasant.  Her cough is still scary and she still maintains somewhat of a temperature but she is eating and sleeping very well.

Moriah was seen by the pediatrician who thoroughly examined her and was not alarmed by her condition.  Her disposition, color, appetite, excretion are all normal.  Her ears and her lungs are both clear and healthy.  The Dr. said that her cough is probably just contained in her throat and gave us some suggestions, such as popsicles - courtesy of Kelly Carter.  She will be taking Tylenol every 4 to 6 hours and we will be watching for any major changes.  Thank you so much for your prayers.  This was Moriah's first time eating a whole popsicle by herself!



I really want to thank Kelly for taking her time and resources to drive us all to the doctor's office this afternoon.  Today was Jeramy's second day at his new job, Dispatch Officer for the Norcross City Police Dept, and we were unable to make it to the pediatrician without assistance.  I don't take lightly the sacrifices she's made today to help us out in Christian love.  It is a wonderful thing when the church body can take care of each other - the joy of Christ spreads.  Thank you so much again, Kelly.  I enjoyed all our conversation today.
