What a day!

Well, I am sure you are all on tenterhooks to see how we got on at the paed....

He was a nice bloke who checked her over (she of course wouldn't even look at him let alone speak to him!) and she is apparently ok. So he put her on a stronger laxative and said to keep her on that until it was all a matter of course and no dramas. Apparently I am doing the right thing food wise and so on.

So we go and buy the tablets at the pharmacy. Everyone says, oh just crush them, they'll be fine. What everyone neglected to tell me is that they are bitter and have a coating that doesn't crush. Grrrrrrrrr. And it turns out that it is an adult medication. How do they go from drops for infants to 3 year olds straight to tablets????????????????? Do these people have no idea?????????

Of course I almost choked her getting the thing down becuase she decided to chew it (as they do - 3yo do not follow simple instructions, well, mine doesn't!) and so of course won't put it in her mouth again. Not even with the promise of Bob the builder and chocolate afterwards.

And she is supposed to have 2 of these a day!!! : O

Wish me luck!

BTW, this is my 100th post - just thought you might like to know....

Glad the Paed visit went well for you. We used to have very similar problems with Heidi and I gave her prune juice which worked a treat. No nasty tablets just a yummy drink - not too much though as it is very effective.
