[tri-med] Re: Breakfast reading

Though not as much as before, Matthew still throws up. We have a plastic
container the counter, a plastic cup in Matthew's back pack and a nemesis
container in our van. Whenever Matthew coughs, the whole family gets up and
looks to see if he is gagging...it's almost funny now. One time, he threw up
in the waiting room to have an x-ray. I was having light conversation with
others. I had Matthew in the stroller facing me and continued to have the
conversation while he threw up...he did it so quietly I don't even think
anyone noticed...except when I had a clear plastic cup full of "used"
Pediasure and asked where I could dispose of it :). We got out another
bottle and started over like we always do! Since then I have tried to use a
colored cup (not clear) to minimize the "ewww" factor.

It is amazing what becomes our normal, isn't it?
