Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 One of the happiest days of my life was the day my son learned to swallow a pill. Before that, it was a living he@#$ to try to hide it in food or liquid to get him to take it. Nothing I tried worked. I can remember almost sitting on top of him holding his hands down (to keep him from hitting me) and trying to pop a pill down his throat. Ah, those were the days (NOT!) Now we need to teach him to shave. Seems like the pill battle was only yesterday! Oh...and he also takes melatonin to help him sleep....never had any side effects. Sometimes it works okay, and sometimes it does nothing. Go figure. nna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'm always amazed how so many of you all go through the same thing I go through or have gone through. It helps when you feel like you are all alone in this difficult chore called autism. Thanks just for being there and sharing. Reminding us we're not alone and that there is always hope. - Cristina Son: christian 6 yrs old. RE: pill swallowing One of the happiest days of my life was the day my son learned to swallow a pill.
