Detoxing My 4-Year Old

My girl is a special kid.  She doesn't do anything half-ass.  Ham for the camera:


Wrestle her brother while hamming for the camera:

Getting sick:

The kid has been sick for almost a whole month now.  I don't know precisely what she came down with this time, but I do know that, over the last month, she's been on 2 different antibiotics, 2 fever reducers, a cough suppressant, a laxative (sorry...) and now this Albuterol courtesy of a nebuilizer.

She's been a good sport about it.  She doesn't complain about her medicine and has even gotten to a point where she'll remind us when it's about time for another dose.

That's when you know it's time to wean her off some of this shit.  We're working on that.  She no longer needs the fever reducers & the cough suppressant and is almost done with the laxative (again, sorry...).  She's 2 days out from being done with the antibiotics and the Albuterol.

We cannot wait!!  In the meantime, she's still her old charming self:




And who is that dirty white bunny?

She's starting to. We're thinking she may be well enough to go back to school next week.

I just can't wait until she's done with all of her medicines. :(
