I gave Abigail Tylenol at 5pm and then she puked 15 minutes later. Should I assume she got some of it or that she didn't? I'm thinking maybe I'll dose again at bedtime which is 8:30pm. WWYD?
On the plus side, I realized a couple seconds in advance that the puke was coming so we made it to the kitchen sink. That was the easiest puke cleanup ever. All I had to do was rinse off her arm.

aydee I'm not sure what the right answer is but I would probably give another half dose right away or wait until 8:30 and give a full one personally.

redandblue sounds like a fun trip! And stepping on an urchin is no joke! I feel so bad for your h..did the locals tell you to soak in vinegar? It takes the sting away...some...which is better than nothing.

RunsforWineandCarbs they had him soak in hot water, vinegar and apparently benedryl. They tried to get most of the spines out, but he is still in quite a bit of pain. He went to the clinic today, and was basically told nothing can be done, but they gave him a tetanus shot (not exactly sure why, people in Ontario are not used to this kind of thing! Lol)

We won’t continue this medication if this is how s1 is going to be. Not himself at all. Very very calm. To calm. He’s fallen asleep 3 times and is barely playing

amichelle723 what happens if someone chews the extended release? They get all the effect at once I’m guessing. H said that s1 fell asleep in the car twice on a simple trip to the store (15-20 min drive) and now he’s very..... calm. Almost to calm Yes, much more of the medicine is released at once than is supposed to. He’s been so zombie like today.

Cleaned my house today and put out my fall decorations. I am so exhausted. Watching Grace and Frankie in bed now because I am an old, old soul.

jedi You might try having him swallow sprinkles or mini m&ms to learn how to swallow pills. I'm sorry this is so hard. I wouldn't judge the effect of the meds just yet though if he ended up chewing an extended release pill instead of swallowing it. That would have a totally different effect than the intended one. Hopefully his doctor will have some ideas about how you can handle this.

avocadotoast So scary and sad. It's odd that it's not in the news here.

After the earlier puke I decided to wait until bedtime to dose the Tylenol again. I realized I was more afraid of her getting a double dose than I was of her not having it at all. Plus I think she'll sleep better this way. Poor girl is not feeling well. I hope she's better in the morning because I'm flying solo until DH gets back in town Tuesday evening. And I'm definitely coming down with a cold tonight....

How about mini m&ms in applesauce, yogurt, or pudding?
