Tonight I was getting Eli's daily ration of medicine ready for him to take. I got the bottle of Aspirin out, dumped a few orange chewables in my hand, and saw one of these orange chewable Aspirins was broken in half.
How the memories of pre-Fontan came flooding back! Eli, since his Glenn Shunt at 4 months old in August of 2009, as been taking a half baby orange chewable Aspirin every night. For 2 years me and Husband Matt broke these little pills half, either by finger nail, knife, or teeth, and stuffed it in Eli's mouth.
But after the Fontan Eli was put on a whole baby Aspirin (81 mg), taken daily. I really don't miss the halving of the Aspirin ritual, and it's been really nice to just plop one in Eli's mouth without much thought involved.
Eli will always be on Aspirin (I don't know if the dose will ever increase), and we're pretty lucky that this is the only medication that he has to take! Hopefully this will continue.

Saying Thousands Words
Eli's hospital visit for the Fontan Procedure was just a week long (Aug 17, 2011 thru Aug 23, 2011), but there was a whole bunch going on.
