What a relief that your daughter finally takes the pills whole! I do remember what you went through. For the longest time I crushed the pills and hated it. Then I read that the Florinef dissolves easily, and the Cortef just takes a little longer, so I stopped crushing after 2 1/2 years. Then, I read that a 2 year old swallowed the pills whole, so when my daughter was 3 I said "here, try these." She popped them in her mouth no problem, and exclaimed, "I'm a big girl now"! Why I didn't think of the easier way long before, I have no idea! That's what is so great about this board!
