We had a follow-up ear check today for Punky’s ears…..he stopped his antibiotic a week ago…and his ears are still not healthy.  😦   So, round 2…of a different antibiotic.  Let’s just cross our fingers and hope to high heaven that this round works!   Last year at this time, we kicked off a string of 5 different ear infection visits from January – April!  Ugh!   Pleas enot again!

We got a strawberry flavored medicine…(the bottle is upstairs and I am too lazy…   my butt won’t get up to go get it so you can all know the name of it!)  It actually tastes really good, but PUnky threw a fit!

“No medicine!”

“Me no like.”

“Yucky! ”

So, I made yet another shake and hid it in there!   This time I hid a piece of chocolate in the bottom of the shake…so he had to drink it all up to get to his  chocolate heart!   it worked…

Nineteen more doses to go!  😀

    I’m sorry to hear that Punky still has an ear infection. Hopefully this round of antibiotics will take care of it. Putting the chocolate in the bottom of the shake is a neat idea!

    Most kids I know don’t like taking medicine. My kid is a bit strange…he asks for more medicine 🙂

    Mommytoj- Mine used to ask for medicine until this last round when medicine became evil due to the yucky taste!!! Ugh.

    My kids love medicine. And having tasted it I can see why. Most of the children’s medicine in the UK is laced with so much sugar it’s like drinking honey.

    Boy are they in for a shock when they get older.

    It is so good that they regulary fake illness of one sort or another. I could do with finding someone to make a placebo strawberry sugar liquid, for when I just want a quiet night.

Let me know what you’re thinkin’!
