Jim has had 3 speech therapists, one at the hospital and two at the nursing home

that said never to give Jim ice cream or jello, because he will aspirate on it,

so he was taking something similar to ice cream for people with dysphagia

called, " Magic Cup " But we tried putting his antibiotic in it, he still would

not take it. He always liked the " Magic Cup " before.

Thanks Piper, so good to see you here. I haven't seen you for so long. Well not

you, but your posts. LOL

Love and Hugs,

Jan

Hi, Jan,

My heart aches for you. When my dad reached the stage where he no longer

could swallow, gave me the tip about using something cold to help

Dad swallow his medicine. Seroquel was the only medicine that was helpful to

Dad by that time and 's tip worked like a charm for him. I would

get Dad those Frostys from 's, and stick the pill in a tiny bite which

he would take. The consistency is somewhere between a milk shake and ice

cream which he seemed to have an easier time with.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jim. I know how difficult this

time is for you. You have been an amazing advocate and caregiver for Jim,

and you will always draw peace from that.

Sending you big hugs with all my love,

Piper
