Makes the medicine go down. Right?
I picked up quite a stash.. Chocolate syrup, mango sorbet, strawberry ice cream, some caramel.
Let's really hope it works
It's been a huge struggle giving her the antibiotics. Cup, dropper, spoon, nothing works. We are force feeding with an oral syringe & went through the prescribed bottle in a couple days. It's supposed to last 10 days! She spits/ gurgles/ coughs everything out. She's gotten quite good at crying and blowing raspberries simultaneously. Sometimes it doesn't sit well, and you can hear her stomach just tossing & turning. Actually, she has even vomited it all out. Then we have to repeat the entire process. Luckily, used my pharmacist hookup to score me another bottle to hold me over until today, but it was less concentrated and we had to give 40% more. Both Natalie & i are in tears after the whole ordeal. James is so upset, since he's the one holding her, pinning her arms & legs down. To top it off, she's been having diarrhea since yesterday.
We went in this morning, her ear has improved and the pediatrician wrote me another bottle. She's sleeping so happily, rolled onto James's pillow and making cute baby snores. Breaks my heart that once she's awake, we are going to have to give her this medicine again.
