biaxin? have a pail ready, or, a spoonful of sugar
My poor kid. I thought it was just a matter of swallowing the unpleasant stuff and having done with it. She tried. She really did.
I was quite impressed with her ability to keep the vomit from coming out by use of her sleeve. I thought that was right sweet of her, even as I felt guilty that she put keeping vomit off the floor above her own comfort. We ran to the garbage can and then stripped down and then…
Sadly we had to do it again. This time she had a hershey’s kiss in one hand and two gummy vitamins in the other, ready to go. Poor kid. It even made her breath bad. Yech.
See? No matter what a health freak you become, when the pin hits the shell (A drive by trucker-ism) you still need to keep some chocolate in the house for soothing boo boos, bribery, and banishing the taste of those shitty antibiotics.
I think we’ve come full circle to chronic very lowgrade allergies, sometimes giving rise to ear and sinus infections. Strep… asthma… I am going to have to cave and start giving her singulair every day for several months and see how that goes, and make sure I have plenty of it if we do any language-enriching travel overseas. The doctor came right out and said, I have reservations too, about giving a child medicine daily, but for kids with allergies it can really make a difference to their quality of life.
So once I get past the ’stuff and nonsense’ sense that my children do not get sick, I figure, I’ll do it. I can find other good reasons to stay home from work, without her having to be ill.
