Ugh!

I just got home from the pediatricians office with Brooklyn. She has a UTI. Which means that she has been peeing her pants for a very good reason...it hurts too bad to go, so she waits until it is too late, and it also means that she is going to be on antibiotics for the next ten days. So we walk in the door from our little outing and it is just in time for the motrin that I gave her this morning to wear off, her body turns blue, she gets covered in chills and then she starts crying uncontrollably. So I pull out my bottle of antibiotics that I just bought at Wal-mart (for $55.00) and I pour some into the little spoon for her. She then proceeds to scream that she doesn't want to take it. Then I put a little teeny tiny drip of it on her lips so that she can see that it is not yucky but tasty and she gags on it and throws up on me. Then we try again, because she has to have it and I am not wasting my $55 bucks. She throw up on me again, but she takes the spoon as if she is going to do it herself. She did give it a good try, but she gagged on it again and spilled it all over the bathroom floor. I was so mad, she could tell too, because she ran right in to her room and sat on her bed for a time out. I know that is what she was doing in there because I heard her telling Chris when I was walking down the hall after I cleaned up all the throw up. Anyway the self imposed time out really calmed her down and when we tried again she drank it right down without one gag and even proclaimed that it really wasn't yucky. My pants on the other hand really are yucky and smelly, so I'm going to go change.
