Alison's Posts
These are some of the posts that Alison has posted at the forum made for the people that went to China with us, Group 620.
RE: Shots
I hated watching Nina have blood taken. They had to stick her 4 times to get enough blood. They said it didn't hurt her, that she was just scared. But I thought, who are you guys kidding? I've been stuck many, many times and when you have to search for a vein, that hurts. My sister held her down, the doctor didn't want me to do it, and it seemed to be bonding experience for them. Leeann was the only one that could hold Nina at the beginning.
Has everyone switched to table food?
We are still giving Nina Pediasure. The doctor wants her to gain more weight, and Nina takes 3-4 cans of Pediasure a day. She just nibbles at table food, the doctor thinks Nina knows how much energy she gets out of the Pediasure, so she just doesn't bother with the table food much. She does love peanut butter, though. And refried beans.
Eating Out
Nina is not terribly thrilled about eating out. Or maybe we just don't hit the right times. It seems like she's too hungry or tired when we are eating out. At least there are Cheerios for the times that the food is slow. : ) She's having a terrible time with teething, also, so she can be fussy for hours at a time, and it's just her teeth.
