GETTING WELL

So we are going in our 2nd week of RSV. She is no longer contagious according to the Dr, but this cough still exists. We are back to sleeping in the crib as I had her sleeping next to me for the worst part. I hate doing this like that. First off that is a NASTY habit to break having a little one sleep in your bed. Second, the number one killer of babies is suffocation due to idiotic parents. How or why would you EVER risk that with a tiny infant! Since she's a toddler now and kicks me out of the way it wads little more comforting to have her by me. Me being the paranoid parent I put pillows in between us. Now as a toddler I have to be more concerned about the TV as that's a huge toddler killer... in terms if they pull those flat screens down on top of them. wall mount here we come.

So she has a mild cough and is a picky eater these days. She is now standing and scooting across the couch with support. she wants to climb in and on top of everything so I am going to have to be picky when deciding on upstairs furniture.

We go back to the GI Dr next week. I have yet to get her blood work done. she needed a break. at least sometime away from being sick or tortured. What is the point this illness is not treatable... so if she has it not as if she needs medicine asap. So I thought we'd wait until at least she feels better. we go to a dietician to discuss her diet. I wanted to smack the last dietician I met. I am not a violent person but dealing with the medical industry... for how educated thhese people are... they are idiots!

I have little patience for stupidity or lack of common sense. My biggest complaint is people that are suppose to be smart or act highly educated but really have no clue. I am no genius but I do not pretend to be one, but please don't let me be more educated than you in your own particular field.

I am looking for B12 food supplements and healthy ways to increase calories not just to make her gain weight at an unhealthy rate. I know Kale is one of those superfoods. In terms of more nutritional value than let's say celery, plus has high amounts of calcium... now only getting a one year old to eat Kale is the challenge. It will be interesting meeting with this food person... I hope I ate least learn something.

I'm not a heavy person because I eat right. it takes a lot of work to eat right. I spend 2 hours at the grocery store each week if not longer and an hour in preparation. I shop at wild oats now whole foods (which if anyone is looking to buy me a birthday present that's my number one store). I read everything. If I do not know what it is it dies not go into my body nor hers. Now this is hard for many to understand let alone that I am a working ONLY parent. I say ONLY not single as there is no dad weekend visits, it is ONLY me... the idea is that this will teach her to be a healthy adult, to make good decisions, to be aware of her surroundings/food/body and keep her from getting sicker.
