>>It is now week 7 1/2.  It appears the thrush is gone (YAY!)  The thrush
disappeared after each round of Gentian violet, but returned in about 5 days,
until I got put on Diflucan (I had to change doctors to get the Diflucan, but
that is another story).<<

From what I have heard, gentian violet needs to be repeated after a couple of
days for a total of 2-3 rounds. Sounds like baby was simply undertreated
initially (too conservative) and yeast not entirely killed, not unlike
forgetting to take a full course of antibiotics.
