I took the boys to the grocery store, and let them run in the garage while I brought the groceries inside. I set the groceries down, and walked out to the garage to get them. In a matter of 90 seconds, they had managed to find an empty bottle of tire cleaner, and spray it in each other's mouths! Luckily, the bottle had been empty, so they "just" got a little of the resin in their mouths. Conner got some around his mouth too, and started to develop a rash.....press the panic button. I called poison control, and they told me to get the boys to the ER ASAP. Double UGH.
Poison Control had called the ER, so upon our arrival, we were rushed into a room surrounded by about 10 docs/nurses. During our 4.5 hour stay, they took blood from both of them, did an EKG on their hearts, and got an IV in Logan (unsuccessful on Conner...poor guy). All the tests came out fine, and towards the end of our visit, Poison Control let the doctor know that the REALLY lethal stuff was less than 1% of the cleaner. Conner's rash had also gone away fairly quickly after our arrival. And of course, Dennis left work (shocker....haha)..........to be with us.
The boys were GREAT the entire time...........they loved all the action in the ER, and Conner was loving all the firefighters rushing in and out. I'm SO, SO thankful that they were fine, and it is something I hope to never go through again. I've had the major Mother's Guilt for the last few days, but it's getting a little better!
These pictures are when we got home. We didn't know if they got the tire cleaner on their clothes, so they wore the hospital gowns home just in case.
