Having a hard time taking your vitamins?

This is a picture of all the meds my daughter had to take after her bone marrow transplant last year. She took 18 pills every morning and 12 pills every night. (Yes, she would swallow them all at once!) That doesn't count all the I.V. meds she walked around with all day!
I just thought this could give us all a little perspective on how EASY it is to take the few vitamins we need :) Plus, it's an easy point too!

  1. Wow, Jill, that really does put it into perspective! When my dad had cancer, I could hardly watch as he swallowed pills by the handful. But you do what you have to do! Thanks for the reminder.

  2. Jill, that is such a great post, and what a beautiful little girl you have. I am a convert to multi vitamins, thanks to this blog. Costco has the kids vitamins on sale, so my kids are going to be converted the next time I go.

  3. Jill, do you live in Lehi? Email me, I'm just curious where and I don't know if that's something you want to be specific about on a public blog: thebrent5@yahoo.com. My sister in law lives in Lehi. Did you hear about the family who had a drive by shooting a couple weeks ago. That was them. Totally a random thought. Just curious if maybe you know them.

  6. I have to admit that when you joined our little blog I tried to find something about you...a blog, something and I found an article about your daughter starting to go back to school. What an amazing little girl! I can't believe she took them all at one time.

    Taking a vitamin has been my easiest thing so far.

    Thanks for helping us all keep perspective and sharing a little about what you've had to deal with over the past several years!

    You have to be a Rockin' mom to hang tough like that!
