I was giving Gage his new shot using the cool medicine putter inner recently and Quinn said:
"Will I get that shot too?" (smiling)
"Well, maybe Quinn but probably not for a long time."
"When I go on dialysis?" (clapping hands and excitingly talking)
"Well, maybe honey, but we are hoping you won’t need dialysis. Maybe you will get a kidney before you need dialysis." (with a nuturing mothering smile)
"What?! I want to go on dialysis! When do I get to go on dialysis?!!"
I admit, I just let her think she is going to get to do dialysis too. Sometimes just going with the flow is better than fighting it, you know? I mean, we have to pick our battles with her. There’s no sense in getting her upset by telling her that NO! we don’t want you on dialysis.
Now that’s just screwed up.
