On another note - Lindsay is home sick today. She felt like she was burning up this morning so I kept her home. She absolutely refuses to take the medicine. I've tried every flavor there is. I've tried Motrin, Tylenol, plus all the other brands. She won't open her mouth. Then it turns into a problem because I don't want to force her because that will just scare her and make it a problem in the future. I took her to the drugstore and let her pick out which box (of the one's I pulled off the shelf) she wanted. We are going to try the Tylenol Meltaways in bubblegum. Please....please, oh please, oh pleeeeease let this work!!! I actually ended up telling her the story about when she was 2 and had a seizure because of a fever that spiked too quickly. Just talking about it brought tears to my eyes because at the time - I really thought she was going to die. The seizure had attacked the respiratory part of the brain and she stopped breathing for about a minute and a half. She was purple and limp after the shaking stopped. I didn't tell Lindsay all the details - but she did see my eyes welling up when I told her that she had to go to the hospital in an ambulance once because of a fever. I think she now knows that it really is important to take the medicine.

So - I'm off to go make cinnamon toast for the girls and start the 2nd round of medicine for Lindsay...wish me luck!
