Dr. Visit

Mary, from IBB (our church - Iglesia Bereana Bautista), went with the girls and I to the Dr. this morning. It's extremely helpful when people show us places as San Juan is rather large and Dr. offices can be in hard-to-find strip malls. There is a pediatrician who goes to our church (at church people know her as Cuca) , and so we went to her office. She was kind and friendly, and though the office was tiny and different from the Dr's office at home, things worked out ok. The line of patients in front of us wasn't long and we were in and out in about an hour. I was glad we went, as both of Mariah's ears have ear infections. We got an antibiotic prescription for her, and Cuca gave us numerous over the counter drug samples as well (PediaCare anyone? We have 12 boxes now. She said she had to get rid of the stuff as no one here in PR wants to take it and she keeps getting more samples in the mail. Evidently it's not the drug of choice here, but Dr. Lipp at home recommended it to me and Cuca also endorsed it. I was glad for the samples). The excellent news was that Lily's ears were clear - this is the first time a doctor has looked at her ears in the past 12 months and said there wasn't an infection or some possible indication of one. PTL! And pray that it stays this way. She hasn't really responded to any of the antibiotics we've tried in the past.
