That is when it hit me. My kids have A LOT of meds to take right now. This is crazy!
Here is a list of what is shown in the picture from last night...
1) The Princess' antibiotic for a sinus infection. She has about 3-4 days left.
2) Tylenol for The Princess. She also has an ear infection and was complaining of pain.
3) The spacer for The Princess' inhalers.
4) Singulair. This is for The Princess' asthma/allergies. She takes this once per day.
5) Ear drops. The Princess has a current ear infection (ear tubes + ear infection = leaky ear). Used once per day for 7 days.
6) Flovent. Used for The Princess' asthma, twice daily.
7) Albuterol. Also used for The Princess' asthma. Used as needed, latelty has been 2-3 times per day.
8) The Superhero's blood glucose meter. Of course we must check his BG before bed. :-)
9) Xopenex. Used for The Superhero's "croupy" cough lately. 2 or more times per day. Will be seeing a pulmonologist soon.
10) Pulmicort. Used 2x per day for The Superhero's coughing.
11) Container used to put breathing meds into, and then hooked up to the SVN machine.
12) Triaminic cough medicine. Has been helping reduce his cough.
13) Flonase. Nasal steroid for The Superhero. 2x per day.
14) Allegra for The Superhero's allergies.
Yep. This is what our life consists of. I never would have thought this is what our "nightly routine" would consist of.
So thankful I get to have a BREAK this week. Rod and I are going away KID FREE! And as much as I LOVE my kids, I just can't wait to get away!

Enjoy your time away! I think taking breaks is good for the soul :)
Oh my, Tracy! That is quite a load of medicine. The photo only shows the preparation, and as a mother, I know too well how long the 'dispensing' pf these things take. Ugh.
YOU, my dear, are the SUPERMAMA!!!!
Have an awschum time this week and enjoy the respite.
Holy meds!!! Wait, where are your?? lol
Glad your getting away :) Can't wait to hear about it.
