Brody in his gown at the ER.A while ago Brody had to go to the ER for a possible Tylenol overdose. Here is what happened.. I was making the bed and Brody was on the other side getting into my night stand as usual so I wasnt even worried about it when he grabbed a pill bottle out of the drawer because I knew exactly what was in there and they are all child proof. So I just let him play with it until I got over to that side of the bed and when I did he had opened the Tylenol PM bottle! IT IS CHILD PROOF! But not for Brody! So he had one in his mouth and the whole bottle dumped on the floor so I fished it out and called poison control in a panic. They told me its pretty serious because of the sleep aid in the pm's and that amount of Tylenol for his little body could be deadly! So off to the ER we go... The nurse tells me we have to be there for at least 4 hours to monitor him, I had no idea so we didnt have any food except what was already in the diaper bag which wasn't much! Then after a couple hours he has to drink activated charcoal so that the toxin doesnt go into his bloodstream and that was interesting trying to get him to eat that. If only you could have seen me! :S anyways 4 and a half hours later they let us leave and it turns out he didn't swallow one! Thank heavens! Now all my pills are locked up tight! Just because its child proof doesn't mean its Brody proof!
