I’ve been stressed a bit and feeling overwhelmed by the idea of blogging, but I didn’t realize till this morning what was stressing me out. Last week the girls went to the dr and Liat got a standard blood /lead test.
It came back two days ago that she’s anemic.
I know that it is usually reversible and diet based so she’s on a iron rich diet and an iron supplement.
But I am a worrier. Especially when it comes to my kids. And I worry because Liat is a great eater and her diet is not lacking in iron so I fear it’s bigger than diet. and I worry because I don’t want the medication to make her nauseous. And I worry because Molly is a very picky eater and eats a lot of yogurt and liat loves yogurt but dairy blocks iron absorption so she’s not supposed to have it around the time of her medicine taking— which is three times a day— and breakfast this morning was a disaster because all she wanted was Mollys yogurt and I didn’t give it to her so she ate nothing and screamed and screamed.
This is her in Florida. She looooves the water and demanded she hold her tube-that’s bigger than her- from The room all the way to the pool. 🙂 I was so proud…
