Namine seems to be fine once again with taking her medication. She understands – at least in broad strokes, if not in finer detail – what she takes and why. So I decided to test her.

Namine takes a strange dosage of coumadin. The result is that I have to cut two different pills in half and give each to Namine, plus another half-pill of another medication. To see if Namine was paying attention, I only gave her two pills: one of the coumadin half-pills, and the other half-pill. Namine immediately looked up at me.

“Hey, where’s my other coumadin?”

“I’ve got it right here, sweetie. Here you go.”

“Thanks, Daddy.”

I am glad to know that Namine is not only paying attention, but she also knows the names of even her more recently prescribed medication. She makes me proud.

  1. Knowing her medicine by name and amount is an important skill to have, especially when she gets to school.
