I went thru this with my son when he was younger. I always tried to get the meds in the first or second bite if possible. Keep trying and you will find something that works for him❤️💪🏻

Griffen looks so little 😢in this episode

Bless; Sawyer reminds me of my Jack. It’s so hard Mama but your doing AMAZING!!!

Emily if you do a go fund me, I suggest you get the more permanent safe bed that will grow with him for years to come  , as well as the travel version. I know we can raise enough $  for both very easily if you do the go fund me. I don't think you have any idea how much we all love you and your family. I think we can raise the $$ in just a few days. I know they are extremely expensive but remember you cannot put a price on your child's safety and if we can all help, please please let us help.

Squeeze out the apple sauce into the bowl, the break the medicine, then pour it into the pouch. If that doesn’t work I would say smoothie. Kids, even kids with disabilities LOVE smoothies

(Yes, I might have mixed in a bowl first, is there a food he likes more?  I always eat "no sugar added" applesauce, it does get bland after while -  maybe add a pinch of sweetener, the good sweetener, monk fruit)    KNOW THIS - YES, WE WILL HELP YOU OUT, RIGHT PEOPLE???  YES.... THUMBS UP.!!!

I'm sure that 5 capsules makes whatever he's eating taste bad/weird.  Poor Griffin. 😟😘

Emily, maybe try something like PECS which are printed out pictures so a child can choose what they are wanting to communicate. Maybe Sawyer will get less frustrated if he can use pics for a while.

Being a nurse I find from experience with meds in apple sauce it’s best to mix all into about one spoonful then it’s done in one bite and it’s less of a fight to try and get a whole apple sauce in.

You are the most wonderful parents

Please please talk to the safe bed company and get griffin the larger bed. So you don’t have to struggle to fund more than one as he grows!! I will support this cause as much as I am able and I know we have a good community here that would also!

Secondly, have you tried yogurt in the pouches instead of apple sauce, to mix his meds in? Might be worth a shot

Also

Not sure if you have done this or not but get a letter from griffins doctor stating his bed is medically necessary/required in order for him to thrive and be safe

I think you’re right he’s smart😊That’s lovely for Wyn and Harrison and your Dad to have Saturday nights.❤️And a bit of a break for you with the littles😊 I’m glad you’re thinking more that if you can’t get the bed any other way your BIG “family” will help.I hope that takes some of the worry away for you.God bless you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sign language might hrlp you communicate with the boyd. You could do with 3 colored cards to tell thr kids to stop wait go traffic light system. Younger Kids do understand colours and pictures more. You doing so well big huge hugs to you all. You can look up cards to help with speech is what I mean 😊❤

God bless you sweet Emily! You are a WARRIOR Mama!

Poor little man, maybe more sign language? YouTube videos for everyone? He is so cute.

My son is considered verbal but he really struggles. He can’t always answer us right in the moment. He screamed a lot when he was Sawyers age. I’d be happy to help if you need someone to talk to.

I've been through meltdowns through my life

I have autism and I understand what is happening bc I have meltdowns I have had autism for my whole life

Mix his meds in a little bit of vanilla ice cream.my son took seizure meds until he was 5 and we had to put it in ice cream we just mixed it and fed it to him it worked perfectly.
