[QUOTE="keista, post: 515347, member: 11965"] Susie, I won't leap on you, but will say that I have been there done that. The last time I tried forcing medication into DD2, I got hurt, she got hurt, and the medication did NOT get into her body. At the moment, this is my big problem. It's just me. Even if family were around, they would not be able to stomach holding this child down. I know for 100% fact that if FDH were still here, he'd be worse than useless in this matter. LOGICALLY she knows this might be annoying, and hurt temporarily, but it's a necessary procedure and she's lived through it twice before, so she can get through this again. But logic goes out the window at the moment of truth. She is [B]not[/B] pleased with herself. Talking to more ppl, it turns out that the optomap scanner is becoming the gold standard for optometrists. At least those that can afford the machine. When I was telling my friend this story she had to think twice about the last time she had her eyes dilated. It's been years! So, all I have to do is convince the ophthalmologist to accept this digital scan (which creates a permanent record of what the retinal looks like) instead of the personal look-see into DD2's dilated eyes. If he won't, I'll be shopping for an ophthalmologist that will. [/QUOTE]
