No News is Good News? 10-11-08

Being a worrier from birth, I don't think that is true. But in this case I just don't have any news. I spent the day yesterday from 8:30am to 9:30pm with Corky at his house. He has picked up an intestinal bug and is on two different antibiotics and liquids every hour. His mommy had a commitment for the day, so I was nanny and head nurse. He seems to be doing fine and we learned that he will not take Pepto Bismo (neither will I), Gatorade, chicken broth, or Propel. We made do with vanilla yogurt mixed in a little milk or water. He seems fine, a little draggy with the pills. We think he picks these things up from the grass when he goes on his walk, although we always wipe his cute little feet when he has been outside. Now we are considering Baby Wipes which have some antiseptic properties.
I give you these pictures of wildflowers to bring some joy to your day.

I am SO happy Corky would not take the Pepto. That product needs a warning label on it. Pepto contains salisytic acid- aka aspirin! Children should NEVER be given aspirin due to the risk of Reyes Syndrome.

Hope Corky is feeling better.

Hugs,
