Success?


We completely bypassed the chocolate pudding and went back to the pharmacy for added flavoring. Bubblegum! Here he is drinking it by himself. No tears. Yay!! It did, however, take him quite a long time to drink the entire amount. And even longer at bedtime. So we'll either have to allow plenty of time for this, or try something else. Or both, eventually.

He felt significantly better today. Thank the Lord! This almost certainly means that it is bacterial pneumonia and not viral. And while I'm not happy about that per se, it does mean that it's more treatable and that it's less contagious. And those are very good things.


He felt well enough to play with his big Mr. Potato Head this afternoon, and he had a wonderful time!

So glad to hear that things are better. Are you having him take a probiotic? Anytime you are taking an anti-biotic it is important to take a probiotic as well. But, it has to be the kind that is kept in the refrigerated section, so that pretty much means going to a health food store. Nature's Way makes
Primadophilus Children, a flavorless powder you can add to food or drink. Will continue to pray. Blessings.

What a blessing! It's amazing how bubble gum flavoring sounds so good to kids and so disgusting to adults!

Thank you for showing us his smiling face! We'll keep praying.

(And I'm impressed with that clean bedroom!)
