[QUOTE="Andy, post: 280253, member: 5096"] Sorry about the double dosage - so easy to do when you are in a hurry to get out the door. Too bad difficult child didn't remember but I suppose he just wasn't going to question a parent giving him medications. I don't know how the medications your sons take are given. Are they in pill form? To help prevent this in the future, you can get a weekly pill dispenser for each child (should be able to get different colored ones and put their names on). I started setting up my difficult child's medications in a week's dispenser and then every night I will put the next day's in a 3 oz dixie cup on my dresser where I can remember to give it to him by the time I am done getting dressed. If the cup is gone then I know I have given it to him. Since your husband is always helping in dispensing, maybe putting the medications out in different colored/designed dixie cups (on an index card with the child's name on) on a counter in the kitchen the night before so it is handy for whomever gives it? (or keep in your room if there is a concern about anyone helping themselves to it?) I am glad the docs/pharmacist said he will be o.k. How is he now? Did it work out of his system yet? [/QUOTE]
