A Beneficial Side Effect


In a fleeting moment, we managed to obtain this documented proof that Matthew can drink from a bottle. Unfortunately, the only time he is willing to do this is when he is on a regimen of steroids (for his lungs). This bout of normalcy usually fades as the steroids leave his little body. This time around the steroids did not stop his wheezing. Therefore, Dr. Nakamura prescribed antibiotics to prevent a possible sinus infection. These high doses of antibiotics kill the good bacteria along with the bad. So now the challenge is to figure out a way to get some yogurt into a 2 year old Irish bloke who refuses to eat solids.
