I woke up around 5:30 this morning to take care of Grace after Mommy finished feeding her because she was fussy and had a wet diaper. After Laura got out of the bathroom, she noticed some red welts on the inside of her wrists and arms, which were quickly spreading. We called the 24-hour healthline, and the nurse suggested taking Benadryl and a cool shower or oatmeal bath, which helped with the itching, but the rash continued to spread, eventually affecting her neck, lips, and throat. Mom and Dad Cherry came over to help us and go with us to the hospital, but by the time that we were able to speak with the OB's office, the rash was going down and the redness had subsided. Thank you, Jesus!
In other good news, Grace has been sleeping pretty soundly and has started opening her eyes more and making happy squeals now and then. Feeding has been going really well, and she only lost 4 oz (not quite 6%) in the first 24 hours. Mom and Dad Bell are getting into town this evening, and Mom and Dad Cherry will be able to stay and help for another few days. It's been such a blessing to have had so much health and so much help and prayer from friends and family. From both of us, thank you to everyone!

Praise God! Thank you for the update, Caleb.
Clarification -- "she was fussy" and "wet diaper" DO refer to Gracie, right ?!?
