Re: Re: fishy question

I know this might sound crazy but after attempting to mix it in everything

imaginable we simply explained to our son that it was his " talking vitamin "

that Dr. Agin (his developmental ped) wanted him to take. From that night on

we just put a pin in it and squeeze it in his mouth. He takes it like a

champ and directly after taking it he gets a One-A-Day Scooby Doo vitamin

(which helps kill the taste).

I know it seems impossible but keep at it. Your child will take it and

hopefully you will see wonderful results as so many of us have.

I squeeze the fish oil out of the capsule and put it in Sunnydelight. My son

usually drinks it without a problem. I make sure I give him something to eat

with it that will make him thirsty. (Donut holes is a favorite!)

To All Parents struggling to get that smelly ProEfa in your child:

Here is another idea: I pierce the capsules and put it in lemonade since it

is suppose to have a bit of lemony flavor. My 3 year old will take anything

else but this stuff so it IS hard at times to figure out how to get him to

take it. I tried to get him to swallow the capsule, but he is too young yet

for such a large pill. Lemonade, soda's are the main ways I have found. If

I put it in food, he can smell it a mile away. Plus, I never know if he is

getting the full dosage because you can see all the oil remnants on the

glass. Does anybody know why they don't just make a liquid equivalent so we

don't have to pierce those annoying capsules! It would be so much easier.

The PROEFA does seem to be working for my son too, so there is certainly

something going on with this supplement.

Hi!

Its nice to hear from another mom close by. I always feel so alone in this

over here. Thank God for this network or I wouldn't know anything about this

Apraxia and how to help my son.

I am not aware of real local groups for us, except the Southern Cali group,

but there are certainly several kids with Apraxia besides my three year old

son who see the same speech therapist over in Costa Mesa. She is fantastic by

the way. I would certainly be interested in getting an Orange County group

started if you are interested too.

Even if you would just like to talk, I can share some local resources with

you. Anybody else in the Orange County, CA area who is interested, please

send me an e-mail too and we can help eachother get through this and get our

kids the best help in this area. So great to hear from you!

My personal e-mail is gpolny@...

Hope to talk to you soon,

Polny

Hi ,

Do you know if there is a support group for parents of kids with apraxia

in Orange County? I live in Tustin.

Thanks.
