Ga is on the mend and botox...

Oscar was feeling a lot better today. He is still dark under the eyes, but his throat isn't so sore. They all slept beautifully last night and we are feeling refreshed!

I took Maple to my neurologist appointment today. I have had migraines since I was 16 and they suck arse. So the latest plan of attack is to try botox! The specialist said that he believes it can make a huge improvement on the severity and frequency. As I am breastfeeding, preventative medicines are not advisable. I rely on Imigran nasal spray, but it doesn't always work so botox is the next thing to try! I wonder if there will be any additional benefits ;-)

It has been such an uncomfortably dense few months involving the medical professionals!

This afternoon I made necklaces with the twins. I also put a yummy mexican rice recipe in the slow cooker, only to find 5 minutes before dinnertime, Oscar had turned it off some hours before. So baked beans for dinner it was!

Here is the recipe:

1c of thoroughly washed brown rice
2c of good chicken stock or substitute
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 tin black beans, drained and rinsed

Add to slow cooker and leave! Serve with avocado and corn chips if desired...
