I have a cold and Becca managed to get into my mucinex. When I found her she had an empty bottle of mucinex all over her and the counter and I'm not sure how much she ingested. It was a full bottle. I called poison control and since I couldn't say how much she had, they had me go to the ER. Of course, Jack was not home. I frantically got the boys out of the tub and we rushed to the hospital. No blankets, no diapers, no phone charger for my dead phone. Totally unprepared.
Thankfully, we didn't have to wait at all and they pulled us right back. Unfortunately, Becca had to have a whole cup of liquid charcoal and 4 hours of observation after that before we could leave. She spit out the charcoal immediately and I thought, "oh man! This is gonna be hard!" They took the drink back and loaded it with TONS of chocolate syrup. That did the trick but after a bit of the drink she realized the trick and just wouldn't drink anymore. I gave up. They never said anything so thank goodness I didn't have to force that drink down her throat. She's pretty set in her ways, so I have a feeling that wouldn't have gone well at all.
We got home at 12:30am and I didn't sleep until all the cleaning supplies and meds were far, far, far out of her reach. I'm very much looking forward to her being a bit more mature to understand the dangers of some things in this house!
