First ER visit

Last week the twins had another first: their first visit to the ER.  Luckily, it wasn't too serious.  I had left Irelynd's night time meds on the counter for her to take, but forgot to tell her about it.  When I went back for them, they were gone.  Waverly had taken off the counter and ingested at least part of one.  Because we couldn't find the remaining pills, and Keaton claimed he ate them, they both got to go.  They spent 3 hours monitoring both blood pressure and heart rate.  Waverly had to be fed some counter drug to bring her heart rate back up, but Keaton brought his own back up.  Lesson learned:  don't leave pills out on the counter when there are monkies in the house!

Considering all of the craziness of kids, count your blessings that it was their first trip to the ER. Glad they are fine now.

That is so scary! I'm glad they are okay without any serious problems. Yikes! Hope that "first" doesn't become a "second".

We've called poison control a couple of times, but luckily nothing was an emergency. My girls are still at the point where they can pretty much tell us what they did & we believe them, too.
