Today is the first day of implementing this new lifestyle on our own. It was easy to take for granted having someone else bring Bobby his meals, meds, and vitamins on schedule. Now we must remember it all on our own. I admit, this has been a very stressful part of the process. Making up a daily routine of when he can have what. ALL vitamins, meds, meals, and drinks have to be strategically placed. Certain things must be done in the morning versus afternoon. Some things have to be taken with an empty stomach others crushed with food. Some things can be crushed, some cannot. Some vitamins cannot be taken with other vitamins, some meds without other meds, you can't drink too close to meals, and yet you must drink all day to even come close to consuming the required amount to avoid dehydration. Just making sure you've purchased the correct kind of meds and vitamins is stressful enough, but the scheduling is a minor nightmare! For a very long time, Bobby will be on a strict timeline everyday. It all feels very overwhelming today, but I know once we get into a routine things will seem much easier.
