Well, not much going on but thought I would start a new thread. My days all seem the same. H is still depressed somewhat. Nothing has changed as far as "us". He still calls or texts me everyday. He seems to have a new girlfriend....Her name is "Cell Phone". He is attached to it like glue. He is online on it all the time. He battery is constantly dying because of it. Irritates me really. But I know he is very down right now. He is very Broke. He has little money for Christmas and cant even pay his bills. And he is living in a camper with no bills there. I dont get where all his money is going. I dont understand how he had money to actually rent when he did. He has gave up on the EMS. He has quit the class he was taking, he isnt going to the FDept anymore for meetings. He is just exsisting and that is all.
He did stop by the house this morning to help me with our son in taking his medicine. Our son cant seem to figure out how to swallow a pill and it is very frustrating to us. I have been trying on my own for about 3 weeks now and my H would get on the phone and talk me through it like I werent doing it right, so this morning he came by to do it and he saw what I go through every morning and that it werent as easy as he thought. I think my son is just scared to swallow it. If anyone has any helpful hints on this I would appreciate it. We are going crazy with it!!
It is a rainy dreary day here in the east....wish it was snowing. But no, its 65 degrees today. Last week it was in the low 30s. Gotta love the Carolina weather.

kissak, love the thread title. I am wondering if I should adopt that attitude....
Does the pill have to stay in pill form? add it to a spoonful of applesauce and let it dissolve, then a spoonful of applesauce makes the medicine go down. (Does that sound like Mary Poppins?) I do that for my horses.

Thanks Guys, but this pill cannot be broken down at all. It has to be swallowed whole. I have already checked with the pharmacy. I have gone out and bought some mini m&ms to get him to practice with. Hopefully he can master it. It only took my daughter a few days to learn how at his age. We are on week 3 with my son.

OH and I have to tell you why I am so content....I am happy that I can talk to my H whenever I want. He talks to me. We dont live together so no pressure. We are not "working" on things, which means no pressure. He isnt dating anyone right now and he is a mess. I am happy really. Of course I would love to have that Normal family feeling back, but I am content. The only thing I fear and I am working on is if he starts dating someone. I have a feeling I would be not so good at first, but then I would get use to it. But he is in such a mess I dont see any relationships for him right now. No healthy ones anyway.

Is the pill about the size of the mini m&m? I'm picturing a larger pill, but I guess for kids ages they have to make them smaller. Can you give him a big glass of chocolate milk or something with it so he's not afraid to choke on it and assure him the liquid will help make it go all the way to his tummy?
What if you put it in something that he can swallow such as something small?
Can it be diluted in juice?
I am just brainstorming...........

Thanks guys for your thoughts....It is a small pill. Probably like a mini m and m....only oblong. We have been practicing this afternoon some. He did swallow 2 of them...but only because he wanted me to throw one in his mouth. When I did, I guess I threw it just right and it went right down his throat.
We will keep trying tonight. Fun Fun. He is so excited. I tried to make it like a game. I had my employees little boy do it to and he swallowed it fine...of course he has swallowed quarters before to so it was no problem for him lol.
