Poision Control

Yes I finally (in the 7+ yrs I have been a parent) had to call Poision Control. I was cooking supper and Olivia runs in and screams "TYLER IS GETTING INTO YOUR GREEN MEDICINE THINGEE!!!!!!!!!!"

He had pushed a chair up to the entertainment center, stacked some books and added a step stool to the contraption, in hopes of reaching my medicine container. I have one of those daily pill organizers, because in my old age, I tend to forget to take my medicine. I set it clear at the back of the entertainment center.

But my 2yr old was smarter than me. Before I could do anything, he had already chewed up (omg I am sure it was digusting) one of my pills! I quickly grabbed the phone and phone book, frantically looking for the PC#.

Do you think I could find it?????

Of course not! As I tried to calm myself down, I realized it was on the very first page. DOH!

Being that Tyler weighs more than a normal 2yr old, we were lucky. He was just barely under the weight limit, that allows for a child to take the dose I take. (did you get that???) They told me to keep a watch on him, he might have some vomiting, etc etc.

He was fine. And still is. No worse for the wear. He didn't eat a whole lot of supper that night, but he never did puke. Went to bed all smiles.

Oh and this is life!
