battle of the wills.

Q: how long did it take to get Abraham to take his medicine?

A: 2 hours

Q: how many times did he spit it out?

A: 5

Q: did you threaten him with a trip to the emergency room to get IV antibiotics?

A: yes!

Q: did you threaten to return all of his christmas gifts?

A: yes!

Q: did you threaten to cal the doctor, grandpa dan, grandpa carlos and pastor dave?

A: yup!

Q: did he respond to any of these threats?

A: nope!


yeah that's right, for the first time since he was 9 months old, abraham is on an antibiotic and he's also on a breathing treatment. i guess the flu gunk got settled in his chest and sinuses and got infected. we had MAJOR drama with the medicine. it was a nightmare! but i knew i had to stand my ground and stay up as late as necessary until he took it. he doesn't respond much to threats/rewards/punishments he is VERY strong willed! but in the end i won! he took it the medicine very easily this morning. only 18 more doses to go!

hey did you know that i was hiding in the living-room closet faking "going to target to return his ipod" and when i was getting ready to come out you came with him and sat down pretty much in front of the closet door? I almost blew my cover like 5 times.....that closet is really little.......

Holly, I will pray your strength in the Lord. Amiya's teacher is a Earth Momma and she gave me a recipe called Nature's Penicillin. I'm certain that it would be all out spiritual warfare to try to get Abraham to take it, but according to the content of this wonderdrug I know it's healing properties are no joke. Carlos in Closet. Priceless.
