So we give Lily IV meds 3x a day in addition to the 85 other meds we try and get into her throughout the day. It actually is easier than the rest except her port can't get wet and she has to carry around a little balloon for an hour. Relatively painless. Even less painless when you get someone to carry it for you.
I then caught them playing in the sink in the bathroom. They weren't running water- Lily didn't want to get her port wet. So they were cleaning the Barbie Dolls with their toothbrushes. I was too busy gagging and confiscating toothbrushes to look for the camera.
The reason the morning is going better now is quite simply- Ativan and a full dose of it. She would have been running laps around the mall last week with a full dose, this week she got herself up off the couch and found mischief. I'll take it. Now I have to go retry her oral meds- last time she doused the floor in vomit when we attempted it.
I love the beautiful toe nails! What a great pair--scrubbing Barbie with toothbrushes! How wonderful are children who find normalcy (?) in almost everything--just being little girls. Love to all.
ReplyDeleteI miss you and you are my best friend. I like you, Lily. When are you coming to school?

I remember still--Oh how many years ago , my brother Jim and I were 13 months apart. He was my older brother and I loved him more than anything. We got caught!! We were using our toothbrushes in the toilet. We weren't scrubbing Barbie's. We were brushing our teeth. Oh what mom's have to deal with !! Thank God for the normal--did I say that?!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought Maureen and I did weird stuff with our Barbies, but I have to say that I'm glad to see that Lily is feeling well enough to still get herself into some mischief. Eric would be so proud. I'm sure he is looking down and laughing with delight!
