If beads don't do it...

then how about a dishwasher tablet?

Apparently those tablets are extremely toxic, and can kill you in an instant if digested.

Well here is the story.
I haven't written anything the past 2 days because I've been at the hospital. Wednesday, the 4th, Morgan found a dishwasher tablet in the morning, and according to him, he disposed of it immediately in the trash can. I am assuming he didn't wash his hands, and he proceeded to play and eat his meals. Then at 4pm, I saw that he was scratching himself like a crazy monkey, and I discovered a huge rash that covered his torso and arms.

So here came the emergency process. I showered him off, called the hubby, call the sister-in-law, who is an EMT, then waited out the next hour to see if we had to go to the hospital.

It continued to spread to the crotch area.. and behind the knees. So off to the hospital. After waiting 2 more hours in the children's ER. He received an adrenaline shot, and some other medicine that he has to take daily for the next week. Finally the stress level went down and we came home at 11:30pm.

The every next day, I went to the pharmacy to get his prescription, and when I came back, the rash came back. I gave him the medicine and waited 2 hours, but it was like wildfire and just exploded on his face, hands and feet. So off to the hospital. Of course by the time we got there, the medicine kicked in and the swelling subsided. So took some tests to see if it was a viral infection. Thank God it was negative.

Never a dull moment in this house.
