What a Pill

Brenda hates taking her pills. She is on a mix of Benadryl and an amino acid that is supposed to support calmness and relaxation. She tends to eat whatever yummy treat I stuff the pills inside and then spit the pills out. It makes me very frustrated.

Belisa recently told me that when she’s taking care of Brenda she stuffs the pills inside of vanilla ice cream and hand feeds the wet sloppy mess to her. It works! I think I derailed Brenda’s enthusiasm, though, when I recently ran out of vanilla and had to substitute it for coconut. She’s not a fan, and she spit the ice cream ball back out into my hand. I had to slink back to the kitchen with ice cream dripping in a trail behind me.

I’m vowing to keep vanilla ice cream in my fridge from now on.
