Medicine Time!

In my last post I forgot to tell the part about how we give Hana her antibiotic, and how we gave her Motrin and Tylenol for the first few days after the ER visit. She does NOT like medicine. She screams and cries, smacks the dropper right out of your hand, and turns her head sharply when you get the dropper anywhere near her face. The second time we had to dose her, I thought we should do it while all the company was watching to provide a little distraction - she loves to watch people. When she took her first squirt, before she could start the screaming routing, all my aunts and uncles and may parents and great grandma yelled "Yay!" and clapped heartily. Hana found this mildly amusing. By the second squirt she was smiling tentatively as the room clapped for her, and pretty soon, even though she wasn't really enjoying it, she was at least tolerating it. We continued this for the rest of the trip, and Pete and I still do it here at home, and it really helps the medicine go down. We haven't yet had to resort to "a spoonful of sugar."
