Porter

As if we hadn't already had a busy week. Porter decided on Saturday morning to help himself to some Christmas chocolate and a bottle of Children's Tylenol after breakfast. I came downstairs (he was only down there by himself for about 5 minutes) and saw the empty bottle with the little serving cup beside it. I asked Porter if he had any and he said yes. I then asked him how many cups and he gingerly held up both hands with his ten little fingers waving. I asked him again and he replied "a lot." So, what do you do. . .
I called poison control and they said he should be within okay range if we absolutely KNEW he had 3/4 of a bottle or less. Well, since I really had no idea how much he actually drank, Sharon (Matt's most wonderful mother) and I took Porter and Chase (because we couldn't leave him) to the ER AGAIN and left Lynn (Matt's very willing father) with the girls.
We arrived at the ER and luckily Matt was already there on call and it was slow. He came down and held Porter down while they drew P man's blood. He didn't like that so much. The results: out of a toxicity level where 20 is the level where he gets the anctedote, Porter was 19.4. The ER doctor was a jerk to us, but once again we were blessed to be able to go home without any lasting effects.
