My little sick toddler, in rainbow shoes

Gioia has had a very bad cough since Sunday.  Monday a super snotty nose followed, along with sneezing and weezing.  Eating vitamins is not a problem, but administering 5ml of anti-biotics via a syringe has turned into a challenge.  On day one I coaxed her with sweets and promises but once she tasted the bitter tasting liquid, it was tickets. I am so grateful I only have to give the milky mixture to her twice a day because I have to wrestle her down on the floor, like one would a python.  I wrap my legs around her waist to keep her from squirming and I pin her one arm to her back like a WWF wrestler would and then I lie on her second arm and somehow manage to shoot the meds in one painful ml at a time.  She mock vomits which makes me mock vomit and we are both so frustrated and red faced by the time the ordeal is over.  I wish so that the wonderful world of medicine would come up with a different system of adminisering their drugs to little ones. Its so tiresome.
