Raising a family, parenting, trying to keep it all straight...is hard. Few would dispute it. There's a lot to keep straight. This is the medication schedule:
8:30 am: Himal's 1st round of meds
Cat's morning pill
11:30 am: Himal's 2nd round of meds
2:30 pm: Himal's 3rd round of meds
8:30 pm: Himal's 4th round of meds
Cat's evening pill
Is it any wonder that once in awhile we realize, with horror, we've lost track of the time, or forgotten to call in a refill for 1 of many Rx's? On top of that...2 of the meds are refrigerated, so when we're not at home for one of the scheduled med times, we have to be sure to pack up a cooler and bring it with us (sometimes we realize, with horror, we've reached a destination only to have forgotten the meds at home, and have to turn back and start all over again). Keep in mind that Himal is not old enough to swallow pills, so these meds have to be made in liquid form at the pharmacy, and we in turn draw them up individually in oral syringes. We also have a pill cutter so we can give the cat her proper dose. If we spend the night somewhere, we have a lot of meds to pack up and keep cool, and we have to make arrangements to have a pet sitter come 2x/day for the kitty.
I'm not complaining...I'm just saying...as someone who could never even remember to take her birth controll pill on a daily basis, I've had to come down to earth a lot.
