more about meds n’ things

 

 

The other day I posted our over-flowing med drama.  And how it’s driving me positively bonkers. 

 

I was pleasantly surprised with the comment dialogue.  Even the dads were chiming in!  Very cute, guys.

My sweet friend, Mrs. M, posted a picture of her super cute retro bread box (aka. medicine cabinet).  Take a peek here. 

 

Elaine found the most adorable little cabinet.

Don’t you just wanna pinch its cheeks?!  Click the picture for more deets. 

 

I thought these baskets from IKEA were cute too.  Click the picture to visit IKEA online.  You can hang them from bars (which are sold separately) and make it kinda like wall art.  We already have that theme going with our pots and pans on the wall.  I should take a pic for you guys cause it’s a nice look.  (I’m trying to abstain from saying cute again :)

I also thought about doing something like the steps below.

I just don’t know.  I’ll figure something out eventually.  And after a few months I’ll get bored again.  Or he’ll have more meds added to the mix.  As it is…we now have Klonopin on hand to use as a “rescue” for the extended complex partials we’ve been seeing.   And Dr. Neuro has tossed out the idea of trialing Vimpat.  Four seizures drugs?  

 

I think we’d rather move forward with MAD (modified atkins diet) instead. 

 

Which would probably mean I should just gut the whole kitchen and start over anyway!  Hi, Extreme Home Makeover!

So I didn't comment initially because I was sure you'd get tons of what I was going to say, but weirdly, i didn't see it there.....

The med bottles drive me crazy. So they are up in a cabinet. And we have a pill divider that has three compartments for each day. And every Friday night (yes, I am extremely cool) I refill her med divider. It is way easier for me, and that way I don't have to grab them in a rush before each meal when I have Maddie on my hip clamoring for her meal. And since she takes 30 pills per day, it is helpful to me to have them all done so I know I haven't forgotten anything.

Maybe it isn't cute, but I am more impressed by function these days. And it stays in a cabinet too so that i don't have to look at it.

I love Extreme Makeover!

My favourite is the lazy susan (forgotten who said it) with 2 layers, I would definitely go for that if we needed it.

Meanwhile, you should be honoured to know that your other post inspired me to clear out the meds & syringes we still had in the cupboard ;)

Now down to just asthma stuff + usual kids stuff (Calpol, etc), kt x

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
