Should I try some solids?

Emily has to have her prednisone 2X/day --- and has to have it with food becuase it upsets the stomach. Go figure. Upset is an understatement. More like throws the stomach into a full-blown, explosive temper tantrum!

I haven't given it to her yet (she was supposed to have it at around 8) because I'm so nervous because of last night's episode, and also I'm afraid to give her solids, but she needs to take the meds with foods.

I can try some crackers or dry toast but I don't even know if she'll eat them. She has had quite a bit of water/pedialyte so far and it's been about 30 minutes and so far so good, but I'm nervous. I don't want a repeat of last night already.

hmmm... i would maybe try a cracker or some toast and wait a little bit before you give her the mediine, maybe like a half an hour? And see how she does.

Definitely try to get something in her. Can you get her to drink milk? That will be sufficient for her to take the prednisone as long as it's enough milk.
