The Drunken Sailor

Well, as you can see. I'm not a great blogger, I just forget to do this. Anyways, life if going well for us. Kevin continues to struggle with ulcers and infections, but that is just par for the course. We did have a little scare this past week. Nathaniel decided to dig through stuff in the bathroom and found some of Kevins pills in a travel bag. Since the pills had been in that bag since August, I really had no idea what he had taken. He came to me with a pill in his mouth that was an antibiotic, stating take pill mommy, look take pill, need a drink. I had him show me where he had gotten the pill and then asked if he had taken more, he said yes. He wasn't really able to tell me what color of pills he had taken. I thought that he had maybe just taken the 3 antibiotic pills that were in the bag, and we would be ok. However 15 minutes later Thomas cames running holding Nathaniel saying something is wrong and that we needed to take him to the hospital now. He said Nathaniel had been fine and then he started to stagger and fell down, then he acted like he was dazed. He tried to walk again and instantly fell over and smacked the floor. His eyes were dialated, and he was very calm and lethargic. Now if any of you know Nathaniel you know that this was definetly not right for him. (Wait, do I really want Mr. Hyper back???) Anyways we went to the ER and were quickly rushed into the back and seen by Dr Jones. He was given a black shake of liquid charchol, that we told him was a licorice shake, Yum YUM! He would drink it then smile with black teeth. Anyways he was admitted for observation, and cried cause he wanted to go home. We had to convince him he was camping and having an adventure at Mommy's work. We are now home and all is well, we think he got into kevin's Lyrica. What an interesting week.
