The Wonderful Wonder Drug

These two things are both wonderful.

These two things seemingly have nothing in common and DO NOT go together like peanut butter and jelly.

However, this combination has greatly improved Evelyn's quality of life and ours as well....

The drug is called gabapentin, (neurontin), and she takes it three times a day to manage the pain in her legs and hands that she has from the chemotherapy.  The gabapentin is a wonder drug.  However, it tastes atrocious.  She does not fight us to take it, but she needs a minute once I get it out to prepare herself to take it.  I had been giving her the gaba with a small amount of milk, usually chocolate prepared by her and that was working fairly well....until Grandpa came to visit.

and things got A LOT better.

Grandpa's raspberry jam is literally Macie's favorite food on the planet.  Literally.

The day that Grandpa offered her a spoonful of it after she took the gabapentin will go down in history as one of the best days of Macie's life.  The next best day will be the day I gave her the spoon and one spoonful became two or three.  :)

So now Evelyn has her own little container of raspberry jam in the fridge used solely for taking the gaba.  YES.  Super Grandpa to the rescue!!!
