My Adoption Journey: Poor Baby Girl

Poor Baby Girl

I received these photos this evening from Gabriella's foster family. My poor baby girl looks so sick; her eyes are so heavy and she looks so uncomfortable. She saw the doctor this morning and the doctor said it is simply a cold. The doctor prescribed her 2 medications plus Acetaminophen. I am not quite sure what the medications are, though. I believe the names are Histatax and Prednicort. Let's pray that she gets through this quickly.
