'Sprinkles'

Just a quick update, we had a consult with the nurse at the oncologist's office this morning... She's so nice. Ashley has been having just an awful time taking the Depakene syrup,.. she really hates it, and it seems to irritate her throat... I'm sure it must just taste awful. None of us can see making her go through that so they were able to easily switch her to Depakote capsules instead. I'll pick them up from the pharmacy this afternoon. These, we'll be able to pull apart and then dump the contents, lovingly called by the staff as "sprinkles", into pudding cups for her. This will also be nice for when we are away from home,.. we can easily take snackpacks with us, and I'll be thrilled not to have sticky syrup residue everywhere, LOL. Now her ladybug backpack will have a daily purpose instead of just for going to appointments... now it will go with us wherever we go, carrying her snackpacks & 'sprinkles'.
