[blparent] Questions about purchasing baby items

[Veronica Smith]

Angelina, i got a talking thermometer from Independent Living Aids, they are 
not that much.  I bet you could ask your Services for the blind if they 
might have any available.  I used a regular stroller, but put a leash in 
front to pull it.  I didn't know they had some that you could turn the 
handle around.  As for giving medicine, I asked the pharmacist to mark the 
plunger to 1 teaspoon and 2 teaspoons.  so when you plunge up and then push 
back down you can feel the mark with your fingernail.
Hopefully your baby won't need too much medicine.
