ER Visits and Ice Cream

So far today has been eventful. I am really hoping for a boring afternoon! :) This morning Asher's curiosity got the best of him and unaware to us he was able to open a bottle of children's motrin and drink it. I'm not sure how he got the "childproof" cap off. I'm guessing I must have not put it on right the last time I used it. He came and said to me, " I drink medicine, Mommy". He was right. In the bathroom was the empty bottle. We weren't sure how much was in there to begin with. I was thinking maybe half or less, but I didn't know. So off we went to the ER to make sure he was going to be ok. The doctor pumped everything out of his tummy by way of a tube that they inserted in his nose and down his throat. The procedure was scary for him, but he did really well. It was a hard lesson learned and a reminder to me that maybe I needed to do a better job of talking to Asher about the dangers of medicine and move them to a higher shelf in our cabinet. Today also marks 11 years since Reed and I's first date. 11 years ago we went out for ice cream at Dairy Queen. Well, no Dairy Queen here, but we decided ice cream was in order. I think we all needed a little ice cream after our morning.

Asher is currently cashed out in his bed and taking a much needed nap. We praise God that everything turned out ok and we are seeing God's provision in it all. Who knows how much medicine he actually took, but we are so thankful that he was able to tell us what he did, we happened to have our friends vehicle at our place to quickly go and Urban was on his best behavior (wooing all the doctors and nurses) for several hours.

I think I will go lay down for awhile as well. :)
