1-800-POISON1

So the number above is for poison control. Just in case you ever go to put a load of laundry on and come back to your 2 1/2 year old holding your bottle of allergy medicine with a chalking film all over her mouth......yes, it happened.

For some lovely reason this medication (off-brand claritin) comes in a bottle that is not child proof. We normally keep all our medications very high in a cabinet, but we had been gone all weekend and I got them out of the bag last night so Jody wouldn't have to hunt for them in the morning. My mistake was leaving it on the table in Em's reach. Of course the 7 other bottles that were on the table were child proof, but she didn't get those.

Anyway, thank you LORD that she was not in any danger with the amount of pills she took (I estimate 5). And, thank you LORD that I caught it less than a minute after it happened. If it ever happens to you, call poison control first....it's what your Dr. will tell you to do. And my advice for everything....don't panic until panic is necessary. smile......Just remember I am still learning.....
