[blparent] meds

[Eva Adams]

I use a medicine syringe. If it is a medicine that a doctor is perscribing I 
ask them if they have a syringe and can show me where the right amount is. 
Then I just use my keys to make a mark on the plunger. If your keys don't do 
a good enough job u can make the live better when you get home. Just use a 
knife or something sharp. I have specific syringes that I had help making up 
for tilinal and motrum. Each time I took my daughter in the the doctor for 
her check ups I would just check with the doctor if the amount of tilinal I 
could give her had changed yet. They have always been really good about 
assisting me with marking the syringes.
