or just a bad mommy.

My grandmother lives with me. She has the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. I put her medicines in a weekly pill reminder case every week. It usually ends up being on Sundays. Well, yesterday when I fixed all her meds/vitamins, etc, I though I had lost a pill. It was one of her Alzheimer's meds, Razadyne ER, that her doctor put her on along with Aricept. Anyways, I looked for it all around and never did see it, so I thought maybe I just thought I lost one.

This a.m. Maximus was in my bathroom and when my oldest son went in to play with him, he rushed out. Well, Jonathan put him back in the bathroom and was playing with him, then I heard, "momma, Maximus is chewing on something, hurry". By the time I got there, he had gotten it away from him, but not before he got some meds in his mouth (it is a capsule). I immediately called the vet and they just said to watch him for any unusual signs. So far, so good. He has been doing fine. One of the side effects of the meds is loss of appetite, so the vet recommended I give him some canned chicken. I ended up boiling him some chicken tenders. He gobbled it up. He has been using the bathroom fine, eating and drinking fine. Please say a little prayer for him though, just in case. I love that little booger and I would be devastated if something happened to him, especially of my negligence. My dh got onto me too for not finding the med after I lost it, not only because of Maximus, but because of our human kids too. I feel terrible about it, but I guarantee it won't happen again. I'm so thankful that it didn't turn into anything more terrible.
