Feat of the day - there is a certain 9 year-old in our house who has refused to swallow any type of pill since she was tiny. Psychologically or physically blocking herself, she just wouldn't do it. This month we've been giving her the responsibility to take her supplements, remember hyperbarics, ask questions if she doesn't understand explanations at the doctor appointments, and especially make the choice between IVs and swallowing pills. As of this morning at 8:30 am she is an official horse pill swallower! She needs to swallow 7 big ol' pills an inch long and as big around as a green onion to get out of doing weekly IVs, and she took the initiative and got one down on the first try! Choice and accountability is a great thing when raising kids.
