Scare of my life
Saturday morning was a scare for me. I was sitting on my bed and my daughter was sitting on the floor, I was assuming playing with her toys. Next thing I know she lets out a cry and there I see in one hand, she has Deep Heat (a muscular rub ointment) and her mouth is white from the cream. I rush over to her and wipe out all the cream and try and make her vomit since I didn't know how much--if any-- she injested.
I rush to the phone and since my husband is working weekends I try to call him on his mobile and his work phone but there was no answer. I tried to find the poisons center number - but I was so frazelled I couldn't figure out how to spell it. I then called emergency and they sent an amublence over. By they time they'd gotten there - Mia was fine, but after a look over they said she was ok, but to keep an eye on her.
I felt like an awful mother. She's ok now, but boy - now I better look at getting all the stuff dangerous out of her reach... although I don't know how she got the deep heat... It might've been on the bedside table or something...

Oh hon I'm so sorry! How scary that is! I can't even imagine. You're not a bad mom. Toddlers are notorious for doing these things. You were spart to call emergency. I'm glad she's okay. (Hugs)
Sorry to hear about this horrible scare, Jodie! But it doesn't make you a bad mother. Little kids move so fast, it's very easy for them to get their hands on something before you realise it.
It's hard being a parent sometimes. I'm really glad that she's alright and I hope you're doing well too.
Awwwwe! Jodie! Big hugs! You are so NOT a bad Mom! Lil people are so curious and move so fast and Muscle cream? I would have never thought to have something like that up. Glad you're little is safe and don't be so hard on yourself! Hugs!
I'm glad she's okay! Must have been really scary and horrible.
SHe's a little young for deep heat. Definitely stay with PG13 for now. :-)
Glad she's okay. Little tackers are so fast.
Babe
{{{Hugs}}} Jodie! You're not a bad mom. It's impossible to curb the curiosity of little kids (and their ability to find stuff you don't want them too lol). ;) I'm glad she's ok!
Oh Jodie! How scary - those little ones are so fast and they swipe better than the best thief. I'm glad to hear she's ok...
And you're not a bad mama! So don't say that. Things happen. Kids are quick. Don't beat yourself up! :)
Oh poor thing. I'm glad she was okay though. That's a scary thing to go through for sure. My baby, of course, is not crawling yet, but I dread it when he starts poking around in things. And I have stairs in my house too...that's going to scare me to death.
Oh no! Glad everything is fine.
I'm glad Mia is okay. You're not a bad Mum. Kids are so quick!
