Ok, so I'm loving the drugs...

And I'm a bit ashamed! It seems so wrong to like being able to use chemicals to supplement my parenting skills! But Charlie has been doing so, so well and she's so happy again. Yesterday I got distracted (flat tire) and didn't give her her dose of Ativan on time. She got worked up about something...probably me sticking her in her car seat and ignoring her while I dealt with the tire. By the time I got her out of the seat she was just full-blown tantruming! I don't know if it was a combo of things (like pain, being tired, ect) or if she was just mad. But I got her inside and she was crying so hard she was choking and desatting. I gave her the Ativan quickly but had to spend the next 15 minutes suctioning her every other minute and trying to calm her down enough to stop choking. Then it kicked in...

And she slept. And all is right in the world again.
