Poison control... and other sad tales.

Oh what a weekend!! I will need another day off just to recover. Guess you could say we are in for a long ride with Ty and his antics.

Friday Dallas had the day off so I stayed at work till about 5:30 am. Got in a few extra hours for the holidays. It was nice to be able to sleep and feel rested. I got up and sent Dallas out for some alone time. TRUST ME ... with Ty you need to get out and hear nothing for just a few minutes. When he got back we went grocery shopping. That in itself is a chore.

The night ended pretty uneventful. Bed was welcoming and inviting so off I went into dreamland. Waking up at about 3 not feeling well. I was sick to my stomach and Ty was crying. I went and got him back to sleep. He slept in( which RARELY happens.) and from the time he got up the room was spinning. I feed him breakfast and fell fast asleep on the floor. I woke up and went back into bed.

I had to take the day off to try and feel better and so I slept most of the day. While I was in the front room Ty started screaming. I ran into the room to find him gagging and trying to throw up. I looked around and there were Germicidal wipes from the NICU on the floor and one in his hand. He had gotten into the bucket and sucked on them. I of course freak out. Knowing that it kills EVERYTHING was imagining all these horrible thoughts of Ty getting super sick and a stay at PCH. Got him calmed down and called Poison control.

They said the ingredients in it would irriate his tummy and his throat and maybe leave a rash in his mouth but to try and get him to drink something. We gave him milk and juice and then something to eat. He had a restless night but finally settled and and seems fine this morning.

So for the other sad tales. During the night Dallas cooked a wonderful meal while I emptied the dishwasher. The night before a plate had broken in the washer so I was trying to fish out the pieces. Low and behold a piece pierced my finger and cut it open. It is a nice long deep cut in the worst possible place to heal or stayed closed.

Oh and to make matters worse. Whenever I go to sleep before D he has to wear ear plugs. How sad is that? Ok he does it becuase I have a weird breathing thing I do at night that makes it hard for him to sleep. He sure looks cute wearing his ear plugs...

Whatta weekend..Glad that Ty is ok, I can't imagine how scary that had to have felt..About the ear plugs, we stayed at my parents house for a month or so and I was all worried about Kellar keeping my parents up ( he to had weird sleeping habits ) and not long ago I was like "well I know you and dad didn't get any sleep when Kellar was sick b/c he was up all night long crying" and my mom said "girl please your dad slept like a log, I looked over at him one night and he had something orange hanging out of his ear and it was ear plugs"..I still crack up thinking about it..Hows your finger?

I have to agree with Leeann. I have to admit that I have had to call poison control before. Talk about smashing my "Mom Confidence"! But I'm glad he's ok.
