It is hard... constantly having to make your child do something they don't want to do, something they are kicking and screaming and begging you not to do. Telling them you have to do it and it is for their own good. This is the silent pain that stakes my heart. Having to give him the choice "We can do this with you helping us or we can hold you down, we don't want to hold you down so can you please help us?"
He says okay, tilts his head back, allows us to drip the eye drops in each eye...
My fear is often whether or not we are telling him true. Maybe years from now we will find that we are doing this all for naught. Then I remind myself that it doesn't matter, right now this is what they say is best and we decided to trust them. So four times a day, we will have this battle, at least for the next few weeks.
