Anita, you should be able to crush most meds. Those you can't are able to be formulated in liquid form. Talk to your pharmacist and they will be able to advise you. Sometimes you may have to switch to another generic to enable either a liquid formula or a crushable/ dissolve able one.
When Kris was solely PEG fed I gave him all his pills crushed or dissolved. The chemist was impressed that I dissolved his Calcitriol capsule by melting it with boiling water to release the oil it contained. Truly, this is easily solvable for you both. So sorry to hear that Clark has to endure further surgery.
