I hear you on the chewables - worked better to go from liquid to pills with my guys as long as the pills weren't horse pills.

It's all about taste. Thing is it's over so quick, just shoot it down and chase! <BR/><BR/>Overall today has been a good day. His fever hasn't been back since the tylenol this morning and he's been up playing, and had 1/2 a salami sandwich. Moons better than yesterday, maybe tomorrow he'll be moons better than today...Please, please!!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600361913851978373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040218878234590154.post-26551921747678842602009-02-28T16:16:00.000-05:002009-02-28T16:16:00.000-05:00Poor guy and what a rough night you all had!

Bryce is my stickler about taking meds other then amoxacilian (sp) he LOVES that but anything else, he needs a glass of water or clear pop of some sort, or he won't even attempt a med!

Icks... What age do the kids start getting to take pills? That would be better I think but I'm sure he'd gag on those too. I couldn't take pills until I was an adult.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600361913851978373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040218878234590154.post-67289563588457985272009-02-28T09:45:00.000-05:002009-02-28T09:45:00.000-05:00Dawn try having him take the meds at different tim...Dawn try having him take the meds at different times so it's not all at once.

I was cleaning up puke at 5:30 this morning and Joe got to clean the bathroom that he destroyed around 3 am but waited until this morning which was way worse. Hehe...It was a disaster. And his fever is back. :( But thankfully only a 102 and he has been able to keep tylenol down and some sips of water. He is still worlds better than yesterday so we'll take it. <BR/><BR/>Joe just took off for hockey practice, he's having withdrawals.<BR/><BR/>I need to get a move on and disinfect this house. So not like me to clean but I guess it's necessary. Hopefully somehow the rest of us can escape this nastiness.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600361913851978373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040218878234590154.post-55562039751735617382009-02-28T08:38:00.000-05:002009-02-28T08:38:00.000-05:00You may need to chase the meds down with a little ...You may need to chase the meds down with a little applesauce or pudding.
