[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I hope he can have some meds?
Yep, he's on a 10-day course of amoxicillin and Tylenol for the next 48 hours for the pain & fever. Which reminds me, I need to pick up a medicine syringe on the way home, as he has recently decided that the medicine-dispensing pacifier is a horrible horrible torture device that must never EVER go in his mouth.
Poor D!
At the doctor's office yesterday I had my first normal blood pressure reading in years -- which is really quite amazing because they kept me waiting for 60+ minutes and I was quite angry about it. I attribute this sudden loss of pressure to hanging out with the puppy.
Aw, poor kid. Get better soon, little guy.

You're not the only one who has said this - does any child like that thing?

Well, I've seen it mentioned positively on ParentHacks (as a way to help babies' ears not pop on airplanes - just fill it with breastmilk instead of medicine), but D hates the thing like poison. He doesn't mind the spoon, but only because he can twist his head and get away from it...

Yay puppy!
Yay, Sparky! Puppies are very good for blood pressure, I think. Unless they're chewing your good shoes. Or the rent money, as my brother's dog did once.
Poor D! Ear infections are the worst. We never used the medicine pacifier, though. I'm not sure I've ever seen one.

really? as opposed to a bottle, sippy cup, or just plain nursing? huh.

How could they? You have this wonderful sucky thing that relaxes and soothes you, and then one day they give it to you all innocent-like and bam! Cherry-flavored betrayal. It's diabolical.
t has never seen or even heard of these before
Jess - was the Tylenol prescribed? I thought it had all been taken off the shelves which is why I'm asking.
We can still get regular tylenol. Only the tylenol cold (which @#@!!! really works for I. and keeps her from _getting_ ear infections) is too dangerous for parents to have. Same with dimetap and other cold meds.
