I'm going to go out on a limb and say I <b>much</b> prefer Teletubbies over the horrible purple dude. I hope you guys still respect me in the morning.....
Also, regarding the mask - I didn't think about it until Liza's post but we never use the elastic to hold it to Katy's face. We hold it ourselves (and sometimes she holds it if I'm reading to her). Em if you are using the elastic to hold Abby's mask on maybe try it without?
We sometimes get some resistance on treatments, it is just different than what you are experiencing! DH and I got an "I hate you" speech from our precious little girl this morning. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0"> Not sure that will make you feel any better but maybe knowing that she did eventually settle in to her treatments (she knows there really isn't a choice) might help you see that Abby will come around someday. I had to really work on myself to get in the right frame of mind about them (i.e. to take the emotion out of it on my side). I think Katy has picked up on my just-a-fact-of-life attitude now and it has helped <b>her</b> cope emotionally (notwithstanding her tirade this morning) Good luck!
