last 48 hours

A big Thursday hello to everybody!

it has been a busy week here......again!

Bryce has been ill with a bad throat and ear. the dr ummed and arghed over wether he should be given antibiotics....so i told him straight.....treat him, the other one ended up in hospital a few weeks ago as you all remember and no way did I want Bryce going through that. He is well on the mend now though so he is ok.

We celebrated his 2nd birthday yesterday!!!! It seems like only yesterday that he was born.it wasn't really a celebration though to be honest as he was ill and i was somewhere else for half of it. guess where i was.....bet you can't!!!!

I'll tell you. I was sitting in the accident department of the hospital with my dear daughter! The phone rang at 9:15 and all i could hear was a man panicing. It was her teacher from school. when he finally managed to speak he told me that he had found bethany with a bottle of antibiotic's and thought she had drank some. yes i know.....antibiotics. partly my fault. she was meant to be going on a 2 night respite, and unknown to me her medicine (which is for her sore throut) wasn't in a child proof bottle as i thought.

so i raced to the hospital to see what was going on. in fact i went so fast i got there before she did. she said she was sorry when she got there and we checked in, and waited, and waited, and waited. when they finally came 2 hours later i told them what had happened. so off they went to measure how much she had drank. "90 mls is left in the bottle....how many doses had you given her?"   "she has had 2 5ml spoonfulls" i replied. Ok you can go she hasnt drank any. so my major panic turned out to be a major mix up. lol. But she is ok and thats the main thing!!

Her headmaster gave me a massive telling off when i took her back to school and made me cry....although he was a little nicer when i had explained that i was unaware that there was no child proof lid on the bottle. I was told to phone the chemist and investigate why this was. So home i came and done as i was told.....to be told they are never in child proof bottles as they are mixed while you wait. so beware everyone that has small children.....they can open the bottles. I personally think this is very silly as most liquid antibiotics are stored in the fridge where the kids can get to the easily. No harm done this time though thankfully.

My love life is going really really well still and we are totally in love!!

hope you are all well!

love you all

Joanne

Glad that it all turned out well over the antibiotics.  How lovely , a second Birthday but sorry he was poorly.  I got an alert this time for this entry, alerts are so hit and miss these days.

It's very odd how your journal doesn't show the links!!  That's really bad about the child proof bit on the bottles - especially if you have to keep them where children go.  Glad the love lifes still going well :-)
