Lucas and his meds

*sigh* It is still so cold here in Tarbes, it feels like winter is back...

Lucas & I were out in town today as Lucas needed to see the doctor again, this time for conjunctivitis. Its another 7 days of "hell" - Lucas is on 7 days of antibiotics and the icing on the cake? After holding him down and giving him the antibiotics with a syringe (poor baby is crying and keeps saying "all done mama, all done" - his way of asking me to stop) I have to pop the top off sterile solution to wash his eyes - though why would I ever need to do that as he is bawling his eyes out by then, aren't tears nature's way of cleaning the eyes????; after which I have to put 2 drops of eye ointment into his eye.

Both mama and baby were utterly exhausted - Lucas was SWEATING from exertion! And to think... we have 6.5 days to go..., twice a day, morning and night :P

Its already hard for a mom to cope with a sick baby, but when baby is fighting the meds, it makes it all even harder. And Lucas is so strong now I have to literally pin him down.

However, I have to say that there has been improvement on Lucas' part when it comes to taking the meds - he will not voluntarily take the meds and he will cry but now, he swallows the meds instead of spitting it out.
