We received word this morning that SH is still quite sick with the respiratory infection this has been going on for a month and she has lost 2 pounds. Thandie is taking her to the seventh day adventist children's clinic this morning (around 12am Tennessee time) please pray for wisdom for the doctors and the integrity of the medicine (they have problems with fake antibiotics often). She has already completed antibiotics and is not better. SH is continuing to throw up at least half of her food and we do not want her to lose any more weight. Please pray for me as I am here and my sick baby is there. It is very hard to know I can not just run her to our pediatrician whom I completely trust, I am not snuggling and rocking her and sitting in the steamy shower at 1am (I would love to be doing this). I talked to her on the phone and she was jabbery and oh how I love the sound of that sweet voice, she said two new words this week (juze) which is sweater in chichewa and the letter H. I guess the whole time the kids sing the alphabet song she sings H!!! Thandie said she is also saying mmhh for yes and uhuh for no and shaking her head!! I think she is saying H for HOPE TO COME HOME!!!! Please continue to pray without ceasing for our paperwork so I can get to my angel and bring her home to be with her family forever!!
UPDATE: Savannah-Hope coughed all night long and all morning until she got to the doctor's office and then didn't cough once. (she is definitely a Johnson) Man this kid is a crack up! Anyways she had the works done....first weighed her and she was the same15 lbs 8oz. Then she had a blood test which revealed her iron is low. So now she is on iron supplements. Then they checked her ears and found fluid in both ears with begining signs of infection. Then she had a chest xray which revealed an upper respiratory infection...no TB....no pneumonia. She may be allergic to the tiny yellow flowers.(the are blown all over the grounds from the rain) Presriptions:
ear drops
cough syrup
antibiotic
iron
