Does it make sense that a late medication dose is as good as none at all?

[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 210153, member: 805"] Gvc, I like Susie's idea. If you have to call the school every day and remind the nurse to call your son in for the medications, that's what you have to do now. Maybe she/he will get so tired of you calling every day, they will begin to do it on their own. At 11, I'm not sure my difficult child would have remembered every single day. How long has he been taking this lunch dose? What about letting his teacher know that, when she brings the kids down for lunch, he has to stop by the office first. Although he may not like that becuase he won't get a "good" seat. But if he has a buddy, maybe they can save him a seat. Or, when the teacher goes to the lunchroom to get the kids after lunch, she can gently remind him every day to stop by the office on the way back to the classroom. I would think speaking to his teacher and letting her know how serious the consequences are when he doesn't take his medications would make her willing to remind him before or after lunch. If that doesn't work, set the alarm on your cell phone and call every day. My son has not had scheduled medications at school so I'm not sure about the responsibility of the school to remind kids about the medications. But, I can surely, especially from the explanation that Witz gave, understand how negatively he is affected by a missed dose. I'm sure that you will find the solution! Sharon [/QUOTE]
