after an all day visit to the doc all kids are now on pills! yes! no more liquid kaletra! no more liquids at all! No more wondering how much was getting into little bit and how much he was squirting. No more listening to All boy whine when I have to mix up his thick and yucky meds. no more having to have a bowl of jelly at my side at the ready to chase away the kaletra taste. so far it is going well with the pills. while they still think it ruins a perfectly good meal they are happy they dont have to take the liquids anymore. They were also apparently very under medicated.
At the doctor they all had chest xrays and all had blood draws. the chest xrays went ok but the blood draws were a nightmare. At least for little bit. He was terrified. once the needle was actually IN his arm though he calmed down a lot. I was nearly in tears from having to subject him to this but knowing it needed to be done. I had a headache the rest of the day from all the screaming in my ear and hugging my neck while trying to get up and out of there! I dont know the results of any of their labs. the doctor is supposed to call me to make an appointment to come back in October. it was late when we finished the appt and the scheduling people were gone.
I have decided that I will tell people who ask (or when I put my foot in my mouth) that yes they have special needs, they are 6 7 and 8 and 8. kids that age rarely get adopted. especially the boys. that makes them special needs. so I can be truthful and yet retain certain information that I dont think anyone needz to know. I also asked the doctor about notifying the school and she said state law says we do NOT have to tell. so I dont plan to. this IS why universal precautions came about anyways so they SHOULD be already using them.
