Tic Tacs

We are working with Ian on being able to swallow a pill so he can take his prograf that way instead of via a compound. It will not only be cheaper but allow us to get the medication here in SC, and to keep some in our 72 hour kit, etc.

The transplant team encouraged us to try using Tic Tacs for Ian to practice with as his prograf pill will very close to that size. He is doing exceptionally and I think that maybe by the summer we will make the switch. He can swallow it usually on the first try but we are waiting until he can do that every time without any hesitation. Ian thinks it is great fun learning this--all because of the Tic Tacs. I got some that have both red and yellow in the package and he insists on swallowing one of each color at lunch and dinner. Bottom's up!
