[QUOTE="witzend, post: 155914, member: 99"] The little ones fit really nicely between the fingers. I know this because my hypertension medications are tiny and I often have to check between my fingers to make sure it goes into my mouth. I take a whole handful of vitamins and supplements, so it's easy to miss. Although I usually know I've missed it because when I take my hand away from my mouth and open my fingers the pill goes flying. Make him spread his fingers, lift his tongue and pull his cheeks away from his gums. You could tell him that you can re-visit the issue of him returning to the hospital in therapy when he is medication compliant. There's no reason for him to be in the hospital if he is not taking his medications. I remember one of M's friends whom he met when he was about 8 or 9 years old. He lived in a hoity toity neighborhood, in a nice house, with his dad and step-mom. He always said he wanted to go back to AZ and live with his mom in an apartment like ours. We lived in a trashy HUD apartment with broken down cars all over and feral cats and the police were regular visitors. I told him "No way! You don't want to live in a place like this!" But he knew what he was talking about, and he really did. He was just waiting for his mom to get out of jail so he could go back. He was [I]8[/I] for crying out loud! I don't know whatever happened to him. I know that in middle school he was troubled and in trouble. I always felt badly for him. He really didn't feel he deserved a nice safe place to live. (Unlike M who thought he was going to magically become a millionaire.) I hope that he changed his mind. I know his father and step-mom wanted more for him, but he was a real handful. He sure taught M some nasty tricks. That was where M learned to refuse to eat. The teacher told me that the other boy had been pulling it on his step-mom for months before M started. [/QUOTE]
