Helps the Medicine Go Down

We have prevailed against the anti-medicine/sensitive gag reflux terror.

Step One: Describe Hercules as a wildly great medicine taking hero that would have died without intervention from purple/white/red sugar laced bitterness as thick as sludge.

Step Two: Introduce "Medicine Dino" who helps you take medicine. (Though he suspiciously looks like a stegosaurus.)

Step Three: Pray that there is enough "extra" antibiotic in the bottle to cover, allow for, several losses due to vomit.

Step Four: Plan for 20 minutes for each medicine administration.

Step Five: High fives and praise should be given liberally to parents and child at each "small squirt" of medicine that is taken and not "given" right back.

Step Six: Just pray that something sticks. Be willing to try various spoons, injectors, and like tools.

Result: DONE with antibiotic.

Thank goodness for Hercules and prayer.
