Whew!

The boys and I went over to GG's today and helped her in her garden. It was fun, and the boys where a huge help. Ok, Myles helped a little bit. Damon played in the fountain and gave his shoes a bath. Anyway, we were there most of the day and by the time we got done everyone was filthy and tired. We went in the house to gather up our stuff so we could leave and I found an empty wrapper for Nightime Sleep Aid on the floor in the kitchen. There were two pills in each package and one was broken on the floor and the other was missing. I got down on my knees to look for it under the cabinets and I saw a little dribble of slobber on the floor with a small piece of one of the pills in it. So I assume that Damon somehow got this package open and ate one of these pills. He chewed it up probably, and drooled on the floor while doing it. I also assume that the pill tasted nasty to him, otherwise he would've probably ate the other one and moved onto the other packages. Praise God for nasty tasting medicine. So I called the dr's office (no one there), the Mom's hotline at the hospital (referred me somewhere else), and then finally the Poison Control Center. Sue, the nice lady at the PCC told me that I had nothing to worry about, and it wouldn't affect his heart in any way. She even called back two hours later to check on Damon. So nice!

And yes, Damon did fall asleep shortly after we found the empty pill package. But he really didn't sleep any longer than he would have for his regular nap. So I guess I'm not 100% sure that he actually ate that pill, but I wanted to error on the side of caution. Never a dull moment around here. Talk to you all later.
