I think it was a fluke - she was crashing and I didn't realize her
nausea... and she needed caro, and food and medicine later... it was
very bad at the moment but she has had 2 medications since them and
she is handling the meds well... really, NO COMPLAINS... yippee...
 
I am being more patient and mixing the meds in Ferretone...
 
Also, the doctor will be calling to up the meds... I am treating this as
temporary until I can find a surgeon with the experience and equipment to
get her through the crisis... Also I may ask about the helper for the
post-surgery, if and when it happens, as you suggest...
 
It all seems good for my little baby, and also will keep me feeling that
this is a manageable problem...
