I feel like I haven't blogged in a while. The month of May has been a sick one at the Loula house. Ashlyn and I have been battling colds for weeks. I had bronchitis and was antibotics last week and just when I thought Ashlyn was getting better she came down with a whole new cough and cold. We took her in Tuesday and she had a slight ear infection (her first) so they put her on ammoxiciilon. I happy to say that she is feeling much better but she HATES taking the 1tsp of medicine twice a day. I have to wrap her up like a buritto in a bath towel and force her to take it. This is not fun for either of us. I have tried to add it to yogurt and she spits it right out. It has such a strong flavor, I don't know what else I could mix it with that she would finish eating. Any suggestions would be appreciated since we have 5 more days to take it!
Besides being sick we had a really fun Memorial weekend. We had our cousin Gabbie's 3rd birthday party on Friday night. Saturday we went out to the lake to put the boat and lift in. Ashlyn had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and playing with cousin Connor.
Sunday we went to Grommersch's beautiful new house in Nicollet for a grill out with a bunch a friends and they had bean bag tournament. I'm proud to say that Joe and his partner Scot won 1st place! Whoo hoo! Ashlyn and her baby (see baby by stearing wheel) had fun getting pushed around by dad... this car may be on her birthday wish list :)
Monday we enjoyed a day at home. Ashlyn likes to crawl over to Gauge and watch him play with his toys. Here he was trying to share his piggy toy with her. They're buddies already!
you could try to use applesauce. or you could plug her nose i know its sounds mean but it works otherwise blowing on their faces makes them swallow as well. whatever works to get them better right!!!
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me but I graduated from high school with Joe and also live in St. George close to Keith and Lyndsey. Anyways, is the medicine flavored from the pharmacy?, often they can flavor it for you too. I would otherwise try to put a bit in her mouth, over in her cheek and then hold her mouth shut by lifting up on her chin so she swallows. Hope something works.... Kaitlin Forst
