Tiny started her new medication yesterday, in fact it was her first time swallowing a pill and she did it on the first try!! I have to celebrate the small victories or I will surely go mad.
Then, this morning,,,,she literally foamed at the mouth!! I should have taken a picture, because while she had me in tears by the time I left for work, now I look back and it is just another memorable moment in my happy little life. Glass of milk in hand, pill in mouth she refused to swallow....not sure of the thought process but she certainly got the milk down but tucked that pill under her tounge and refused to swallow it. A few minutes later I look over and she has white foam coming from her mouth, she looked less like my beautiful diva and more like a rabid dog. The look on her face showed she was either going to vomit or take me out. In the end she swallowed the milk and the foam and by the time she hit the gates at school she was peaceful diva and not rabid diva. While I am able to make this all sound funny...it truly is heartbreaking!!
Everyday the same struggle it is like the movie Groundhog's day!! She is glad she takes her medication but every morning she refuses. And while I cried my way to work, heartbroken she must start her day with adversity, I am thankful to have a child with so much charisma and wouldn't trade her and her foaming mouth for any other child.
Single, struggling, frazzled and loving the hell out of my life..oh my!!!
