More excitement on October 4th

On October 4th, after a full day of Laney testing for her senior green belt and then going to the pumpkin patch we were prepared for a quiet night at home. Well, as they say, things don't always go as planned. Laney informed me that Lexi had thrown up in the kitchen. Todd said he would clean it up & the next thing I knew he was asking me if we had any medication in the house that was blue & green!! Well, I had just flushed medicine that looked like that before we left that morning, so I freaked out. It turns out that I had missed a pill & Lexi had found it. Because of the color she thought that it was candy & tried to eat it. When she bit down the medicine in the capsule was released & since it tasted bad she spit MOST of it out. After a call to poison control we found that there is no safe dosage of this medicine for children her age, so it was off to the emergency room for Lexi & I (Todd stayed home with Laney). After 2 cups of liguid charcoal, one major throw up session, and 6.5 hours of monitoring we were finally released at 3am!!!! Of course, you all know that I am rarely without a camera and this day was no different. When we were in the exam room and she had finished some of hte liquid charcoal I decided to take a couple of pictures. I wanted to be able to show them to her when she got older. So, until that time, here they are for your viewing pleasure.
