Taylor is growing up so fast! Taylor has always taken medicine for her heart ever since she was a baby. In the begining I worried that Taylor thought she was weird for having to take heart medicine and none of the other kids at her school don't have to. I have found that I am actually thankful that she doesn't know any difference because I know some parents struggle with their kids taken medicine. Taylor takes her medicine like a champ; she has swollowed pills since she was 4. I'm 31 and I have a hard time swollowing pills.
Since our last appointment at Shands, Nurse Connie, asked that Taylor learn her medicines for camp this year. So of course in less than a week she learned what medicines she takes and when she takes them. Here lately in the mornings I have told her to get her medicines ready before she leaves for school. Taylor gets a dining room chair and slides it over to the kitchen cabinets, climbs on the chair, opens up the cabinets, and pulls out the bottles that she thinks are the medicines that she takes. I have to say she does a great job! She pulls out all 4 bottles and tries to open them of course they are child proof. As I lay the pills out for her she is taking them. She is great!
Our mornings this week have been great because she has asked me to take her to school. Its nice to sing with her in the car and watch her dance to the music. She is so my kid!
Have a great day!!!
