Is there any chance your grandson could be taught to swallow pills? I am meaning a "formal" session where he learns to do it? If he already has that skill, but is just being a "pain" (and I mean that respectfully, as mine can be one, too), is there anything that really motivates him--video game, toy, computer---that can be withheld until he takes the meds?

I found trying to hide anything in food to be a losing battle, so my daughter learned at 3 how to swallow capsules. Her sense of taste is far too sensitive. We still have our moments with her, but for the most part, it is a routine. We just put the pills in a small dish at mealtimes and she takes them.

I think if you can get into a routine, it might help. I wish you much luck, with your GS and with the MG.
