TWO THOUGHTS: (and I have't read all of this thread, so hopefully I am not repeating too much)
I've recently heard a great quote when it comes to making decisions, "When unsure of what to do, always do good." or what seems to be the best.
Ok, that wasn't the exact quote but ANYHOW when it comes to your question. The best thing you could do would to be administering the meds ALL the time. That way, you have NO regrets in the long run. My mom was such a stickler when it came to giving me meds, being a nurse helped and I remember at times fighting and being upset about her rigidity. At the time as a child, I didn't understand why but now I am so thankful for this discipline and will never look back on my disease and think, could I be in better shape if my mom/dad did a better job? They did their best and I'll always know that.
Also, it's a good discipline to teach your daughter. When she is older, you do not want her to have the notion that she can take her meds only whens she feels she needs them because that will be a downhill battle. This will help TRAIN her to learn good habits and to be a disciplined young lady. I am not a parent, but I know a big job involves training your children. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Jessica, You have a tough road ahead of you, and I admire you for all your hard work. Keep your head up and remember, your outlook on the disease will have a huge influence on her outlook! Stay Positive.
