It took a long time to figure out what to write about with KayeLynn. She's kinda a little bugger, cuz it really wasn't easy to remember anything. I asked her brother and sister and all they could think of was her dressing the cats up and putting them in a stroller to take them for walks around the block when she was little and they were kittens. I think about these stories and I wonder how in the world my children survived their childhood.
So after thinking about it, I thought I would discuss Aunt BooBoo's penchant for eating stuff that she shouldn't as a toddler.
I can't remember the chronological order of things, but, I can tell you that when KayeLynn was younger, I knew the number for Poison Control by heart.
I think the first thing I remember is laying on the couch with Crystal, watching television and realizing I hadn't heard anything from
KayeLynn for a while. You know that feeling, something's up!! I go in and check on her and she has started eating the laundry detergent that is sitting on the floor in the laundry room. Yeah, I know, way to baby proof mom!!! So I called Poison Control, they tell me what to do and to watch her and they will call back later. When they call, they ask a few questions and say that I should take her up to Primary Children's Hospital. So that's where we go. Her pediatrician calls while we are there and tells us that we can't go to Primary that we need to go to a hospital our insurance will cover - so we go to Pioneer Valley. They decide to admit her and put and IV in her little 18-month old foot (couldn't find a vein - not much has changed in her life!!). Most miserable night ever - she didn't sleep at all. I slept on the cot next to her - but, ended up with her sleeping on my belly with her little foot all wrapped up. Next morning, my sister (who was an x-ray tech there) shows up and they take her away for a upper GI to make sure she hasn't burnt her esophagus. All was fine, they sent her home.
About a year and a half later, it was her dad and my anniversary. We were walking in the grocery store and she had a nickle that she was playing with. Next thing I remember was asking her where her nickle went and her telling me she thinks she swallowed it. Went home and called her brand new pediatrician, who we hadn't even met yet and asked what to do. He says that we need to go to the hospital and have her x-rayed to make sure she didn't have it stuck somewhere. Spent my anniversary in the emergency room and got to see an x-ray with a little round circle in the middle of it.
We also called the because she ate Preparation H (when I was pregnant - ICK), cat litter (don't worry, it was out of the bag and not the box) and I think Carmex.
Next time, we will talk about Rodger!!!
