Nobody "Nose" the Trouble We've Seen

Night #3 of hormone replacement for Sadie and things are markedly improved. Still not perfect, but improved. The desperation has been replaced with "I LOVE YOU!"'s. Poor babe. The hormone wears off too soon so far and I'm pretty sure we will still need to be adjusting the dosage, but for now, we will wait and see if things will continue to improve as we ease into this new routine. She is not loving the method of blowing the hormone up her nose through a tiny tube... and we will have to work on that. In other news, Grannie and Gramps are here for a visit. Grampsie is famous for giving Sadie Tic Tacs when he comes and this time was no different. BUT! ON the way home from church this morning, Sadie slipped one of the tiny white mints up her right nostril to the far reaches of her brain never to be seen again! I sure hope she wasn't thinking about giving Mr. Vasopressin a little treat for working so hard up in the "pit"...then i think it could be firmly blamed on me for my storytelling! We tried tweezers, (she sniffed it up farther). Sucking, soaking, waiting... Not sure, but there was a lot of minty refreshing snot drizzling from her nose and i think it has most likely dissolved by now! (BROTHER!!) There is always something to shake your head at! Anyways, we shot the hormone up the other nostril and hopefully the minty mucosa will accept the hormone just as good as the old fashioned mucosa.
