Dear Miss Karen,
I am very sorry I pooped all over you yesterday. My mom says it is not very ladylike to poop on our friends! I try not to do things like that but sometimes they happen. Maybe my mom should move me up to size 7 diapers. You were very kind to help my mom clean me up and I hope the Lysol didn’t bleach your pants!
Love, Carmen
Last night I was getting Carmen’s medicine together and thought I would take a picture. Carmen is on fewer medications than she was a few months ago but she is still on a lot! Carmen gets morning, noon and evening medications plus a couple of medications in the middle of the night. She used to get Robinul for secretions until we switched to the Scopolamine patch. She also used to get Senna and Doculiquid for constipation but that hasn’t been a problem lately with all the diarrhea. Speaking of diarrhea, Carmen will start Vancomycin on Saturday, the second drug to treat C-diff.
We also give Carmen two different probiotics and Juice Plus Veggie and Fruit during the day.
Evening medications, left to right:
Phenobarbital, Keppra, Reglan, Prevacid, Flagyl, water to flush tube, Ativan suppository, Xoponex, Pulmicort, and sponge with Nystatin on it.
So – which is it?? Are you working toward a medical degree or a pharmacy degree?? I think you will be ready for either!
Dear Mrs. Lana,
As each day passes, I become more and more amazed at how great you are at this thing called mothering. Carmen and Lauren are so incredibly blessed to have you as their mother.
I am so proud of you, that you knew your “calling” early in life, embraced it wholeheartedly and do your very best every single day to make sure that your daughters know how much they are loved.
Thank you,
One lucky husband
Lana and Dave,
Thank-you ever so much for sharing your lives with us. It has been a blessing getting to know you all better through your blogs. You provide much inspiration to many families to do the best for their children and spouses. And you honor God with your obedience to Him through your faithfulness to the family He’s given you.
I am down on my knees often praying for you both and your girls, your caregivers, and the rest of your family. May God hold you and keep you under His wing.
God bless.
In Christ,
Jessica
Jessica, thank you for your prayers! And thank you for your kind words. We should get the girls together!
Dear Carmen,
It’s okay you poo-pooped on me. I like holding you and a little bit of poop is not going to stop me from wanting to hold you=)
