Viejito no more


Javier called Josiah "viejito" - little old man - because he had no teeth. Well last week he got 1 on top and 1 on the bottom and we can see more ready to pop through. We are happy, but it makes you wonder if it is because of all the hormones/steroids in the whole milk or ???


Both boys struggled a lot this weekend with severe itching and screaming out of pain for who knows what. I did another scabies treatment on each and it seems like they both need another round of antibiotics for ear infections and nose junk. This is what happens after itching and screaming from 2 am to 7 am.

Yippee for teeth! Way to go Josiah! :) I bet it has something to do with good nutrition and lots of love on a consistent basis! :)

Jeremiah's face looks better (at least on the computer). Does it look better in person too?

I'm so sorry to hear about the boys still crying out in pain. That breaks my heart and I'm not even the one who is caring for them. It's so hard to hear little ones cry out especially when we don't know how to help them! We'll continue to keep your family in our prayers!

Your boys are too cute for words... I found your blog through another friend. We have 2 little ones from Ethiopia too- your family is soo sweet! The teeth are probably just from a little good nutrition. Our daughter had 3 scabies treatments and we finally figured out it was SEVERE exczma and it cleared up with some meds. We have friends who brought home a baby boy and he actually had a staph infection on his face. I am sure you have tried everything, I know how it is to just want them to be comfortable!!! Our daughter actually had night terrors from 4-8 months- which explained the screaming... We are praying for you guys and for the new baby too!
