That was indeed a close call. I never knew that they made the bottle that little so there wouldnt be a chance of death. Thats neat to know. When I was young one of my brohters swallowed gobs of aspirin and had to be rushed to the hopsital. I never forgot that! How awful for you. That was indeed a close call.

I so know where you are coming from. My middle child was our constant scare child. She could climb anything and would eat anything. We spent more time at the emergency room with her than either of the other two. Within a two night span she drank a bottle of benedryl and tried to eat a balloon. The rest of the time she kept us on our toes--decorating my room with deodorant and marker, climbing on the table and eating a whole blueberry pie and a whole pan of brownies, among other things. The other gave us a scare by eating some of her daddy's asthma medicine (it was in his briefcase so he had it at work when he forgot it.) It didn't seem to matter how "safe" we kept everything they all managed to get at the very things they weren't supposed to and amazingly they all survived! God is good. Sigh.

I'm much more calm this morning, but becoming aware of how many dangerous items are laying about. A good reminder. <b>Linnet</b>, Yeah, ages 2-3 are prime for this sort of thing. It sounds like you've had your fair share of episodes!! <b>Karen</b>, thanks for the warning about iron poisoning. The treatment sounds truly horrid. I'm looking for a locking cabinet right now. :-) Jane, I’m very thankful we don’t have peanut allergies, so far.

I was misunderstanding the treatments, which include stomach pumping and chelation therapy. In chelation therapy, they inject something that binds with the iron and it is then excreted int he urine. In any case, it wouldn't be fun and could mean a long hospital stay. Okay, disregard part of my last post. I was misunderstanding the treatments, which include stomach pumping and chelation therapy.

I'm so thankful for you that everything turned out well. Thank God for a guilty conscious, eh? When Thomas was about 1 1/2, I thought he had drunk some hydrogen peroxide. I had a similar experience with the poison control lady. Thank God for them, too, eh? Also, I want to point out my own personal crusade, which is iron poisoning. Iron poisoning is the leading source of children's poisoning (think vitamins). It is often fatal, and even if not, has a terrible treatment. They have to take all of your blood out of your body and use magnets to get the iron out. This may have to be done repeatedly. OMG! I’m so thankful for you that everything turned out well.

We've had a few unwanted ingested products, the worse one was dog 'do' found on a beach when my smallest was aged 2...*shiver*. She's also eaten stagnant water and Savlon antiseptic cream (which after ringing NHS direct, I found out wasn't poisonous but might make her sick). You can't be too careful, especially with children who particularly like to put things in their mouths! Lol, like mine! ~Blessings.

You don't sound like you are over the episode yet- I know I wouldn't be! Thanks for the reminders- I often wonder how I would be in a medical emergency involving my children- would I just lose it? One of the children has a life threatening peanut allergy, so running through emergency procedures in my mind is something that I try to practice. I am so thankful that your little one is safe and tucked up in bed. I hope that his mommy gets a restful sleep tonight after his harrowing adventure. I have a little one just like him- keeps me on my toes! Oh that sounded scary. You don’t sound like you are over the episode yet- I know I wouldn’t be!
