Christina woke up this morning in tears. She was hurting quite a bit.

Interesting way to start a Saturday. It is what it is. And, Dad to the rescue. I did not do anything special. My duties as a dad in the morning are to get Christina her meds. We already had pain meds crushed up and added so we were good to go.

The trick is to get the meds prepped and delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible. While also doing the best you can to remain as calm as possible to not increase Christina sensory woes. If I show too much concern, Christina will increase crying. If I remain calm, Christina will be her usual self and laugh as I try my best to function, just waking up.

Christina was already smiling and laughing at me before the meds were even given. I take that as meaning I did and was doing a good job.

Cheers and happy new day!
