[blparent] {Spam?} Re: Kids and Meds

[Tay Laurie]

my sighted parents were told to give me meds at about age 3 because I was 
like any other kids. into literally everything and getting the occasional 
skinned knee. the doc said that my mom, who was on enough brain meds that 
she could open up her own portable pharrmacy, and dad working all the time, 
the dayacre workers could handle a contantly sleeping chiold. meh.
