~Day 2• 146: Hm. More Cailee Beans?

The last few days it looks like a Cailee-fest.  I'm not purposely taking pictures of her exclusively, somehow it just seems to be that way lately.  I'll fix that.  But in the meantime, more Beans.  

She and I went to yet another doctor appointment today.  I haven't said much about what is going on with her, but hopefully things will slow down a little for us and her doc visits will cease to be every week. Today was at the pediatrician, and we came to the decision to start little Beans on some meds for A D H D.  We have been trying some things before going straight to the meds.  But it is evident that she really does need them.  There is no shame in taking medication. I take it for various reasons: ADD being one of them.  Poor kid had to inherit that from her mom.  The thing that Nick and I are worried about is that the meds will make our Cailee disappear.  She is so fun and spunky and full of energy... we don't want to lose her.  So finding the right medication is going to be hard.  We will see what happens.  Hopefully we will start this weekend, if the  insurance cooperates.  Dumb Pre-Auths and pre-certifications.  I hope they aren't going to make us jump through stupid hoops just to try the medication I want.  It is kind of hard to say that my 7 year old needs this help, but honestly, if it will help her in the long run, I am all for it.  It's a double-edged sword.  We will see... We sure love our Beans.  I hope the medication helps her where she needs it. School being the most vital thing right now. She needs to focus more so she gets where she needs to be academically. 

Part of what I love about her is when she gets in the mood to help.  A lot of times those moods are few and far between.... but every once in awhile she will be so excited to help with something.  Tonight she asked to help make dinner.  Our dinner was extremely fancy.  "Unsloppy Joes."  Manwich that is cooked in the middle of refrigerator biscuits.  Thrilling, I know.  Tonight they turned out like large cow-pie looking things.  My stuff never turns out pretty.  Oh well.  It was fun having the help from someone with that sweet angelic face.  Don't let it fool you...
