Re: RE:off topic/ swollen eye / SALINE - funny -

[Guest guest]

Seriously, because he was on 3 other medicines besides the eye

drops, we had a little routine. I would give him the first 3 (some

of which tasted VERY nasty--I always dip a finger in just to check!)

which he would drink down like they were cordials or something, then

say " eyes? " and I would say yes, and he would go lay on the floor in

the living room & wait for me. The first few times I put him on the

floor and basically sat on him & his arms because I thought he was

going to freak out, but he just thought it was great! So he'd lay

down, I'd " sit " on him, pull his eye open and put the drops in! He

loved it! And he still loves ANY medicine! If my daughter is on

medicine for something, I have to get a clean cup & put a little

water in it & give it to him as his " medicine " . Don't worry--all our

real medicine is FAR away from his reach!!! But I don't look a gift

horse in the mouth! I know how other kids are when it comes to

taking anything!
