This topic has been swirling around in my head for the past few weeks and I have just not sat down and added much to this journal-- I apologize to any who read it as I enter exerpts--I guess its like writers block or lack of time to compose-- whatever the excuse I do feel guilty--- There have been many things happening in the house and I do need to get "cracking " on the posting--
For Now the subject is Chocolate Pudding----or Tapioca Pudding or Sherbet or applesauce --preferably cinnamon or strawberry or even a wedge fry sometimes spaghetti .lasagne or other italian foods-- These are all candidates for hiding medications
Thats right I have a a grown boy who still does not understand the concept of swallowing pills . There have been some "break-throughs' in making some medications in a liquid form but believe me they are not the most condusive to someone who has an opinion of what taste good---They have even made several over the counter medications like a liquid Tylenol but I ask have you tasted that stuff--- I am sorry but whats that saying???"They can send a man to the Moon but they cant make medicine taste good enuf to get a kid to take it?" What the heel is up with that?? Isnt life with these kids complicated enuf with out having to figure out how you are going to get then to take medication SUCESSFULLY?
Well Momma has become a pretty good mixologist----rather than take the liquid crap that half is spilled or avoided or I have to chase him around the house and threaten him within a inch of his life{I am exaggerating but any how} Cut up those pills into 4 pieces or crush them or whatever and find something your child eats willingly and BURY IT!
Be creative and above all do it covertly so they dont have a clue even a cookie that has large choclate chips in works -- if they detect a n odd taste or texture ignore it dont acknowldge it and offer tham anoth bite hopefully that doesnot have the pill in it or give them some water or milk or beverage that will wash it down before they realize they have been medicated.
