Medicating Ezra
Ezra is still taking his Zantac 2 times daily, but Ezra is becoming good at spitting out the Zantac as soon as it hits the back of his mouth, so some days he only takes it 1.3 times daily or 1.7 times daily or 1 time daily.
I have tried shooting the Zantac from the syringe to the cheek, roof of mouth, tongue and back of mouth. Back of mouth and roof mouth work best. A roof of mouth injection will still give Ezra enough time to move tongue to dam the Zantac and spit out. Back of the mouth shot of Zantac makes him gag, but he swallows the Zantac, but he is becoming good at controlling the gag reflex, and he can spit it out.
He is becoming very good at working his cheeks and tongue to purge the Zantac from mouth.
Some times I have to surprise Ezra and hope that he won’t be able to think and not swallow and just react and swallow after I shoot the Zantac into his mouth. But it is hard to surprise him because he knows what is about to enter mouth, and he turns and twists neck and lifts his head this way and that way to move mouth further from the end of the syringe that injects the Zantac into mouth.
I am successful more often than not getting Ezra to swallow the Zantac, but there are moments when I thought he had swallowed it only to see a stream of Zantac flows from mouth to cheek to chin to neck.
