Poison Control

These last two days Nic and I have become familiar with calling Poison Control.

The first incident happened on Thursday.

Nixon and I were getting ready to leave when I look over and he has a bottle of Potassium vitamins open and the vitamins are all over the place.

I immediately call my doctor's office and they tell me to call poison control.

A really nice man named Mike answered and helped me.

Luckily Potassium is a really mild vitamin and the worst that could happen was that Nixon would have an upset stomach and throw up.

Luckily, that never happened.

The next incident happened yesterday, which was Friday.

Keep in mind that I had just called poison control the day before and spoke with Mike.

I'm at Target and I get a phone call from Nic.

I can tell there's panic in his voice.

He immediately tells me to call poison control.

So then I start to get really nervous.

I ask him why and he says that Nixon was holding a Black Widow and he doesn't know if he got bit or not.

I immediately start freaking out.

I am DEATHLY afraid of spiders.

So I call poison control and guess who answers???

MIKE!!!

Of course. He's probably thinking we neglect our child by now.

I tell him I spoke with him yesterday about my son Nixon and he's says, "yes I remember."

HA HA.

He then helps me once again and tells me what to do.

Luckily, once again, Nixon was ok.

He didn't get bit!!!!!

And apparently he's really lucky that he didn't get bit because Black Widow's are really aggressive spiders and they usually bite.

So Nic and I now have poison controls phone number saved in our phones.

It's a really good idea now that I think about it, especially with having an almost 2 year old little boy!!!!
