On my mind.......
I knew getting antibiotics into Frick was going to be a disaster, but I approached it with a positive attitude and calm this morning. I talked soothingly and held her in my lap, quietly filled the dropper and opened her mouth.....Frick then turned into a tornado, head tossing back and forth, legs pushing off my lap....I masterfully squeezed the dropper and she closed her mouth...amoxicillin in my hair, on my glasses, on the chair and on Frick...but not in her. Round one to Frick. This afternoon, I picked her up and put her in my lap and when she had dozed off again, I filled dropper, held it close to her ear and then opened her mouth and squeezed..I got half in before she turned into a virago again. Dr. Ryan said she hoped I could get at least 2 doses in (she knows Frick and my ineptness well) but the wound was clean and it still looks good. So, will keep on plugging tomorrow.
There's a thread about abortion today on TSW. I have been wrestling with that question for years. I would not have an abortion no matter what. Can I dictate that belief to others and should I? No question about the barbaric partial birth abortion. It's an abomination. The questions arise when it is a matter of rape, incest. If it's a question of the health of the mother than even the Church allows that....the way I have rationalized rape and incest has been to consider if the mother is so depressed and violated or young that it would ruin the health of the mother. I know I'm rationalizing but I saw something at MCG once that made me think. There was an 11 year old girl clutching her teddy bear who told me that she was going to have a little brother for her Mom and her. The MDs were trying to talk her Mom into letting them abort her and Mom refused because she could no longer have children and wanted another baby. What to think????? What to do????? It's easy for me to say no to all abortions, it isn't going to come up in my life. All I'm saying is that there are no easy answers to this but discussions should be rational not hysterical. I'm still praying for that little girl and for all who consider abortion as an answer.
