I had quite the scare yesterday when, after coming in from getting the dog back in the house, Austen informed me that he drank the Advil water and it made him grow big. I had no idea what he was talking about so I just said "really" and kept walking. That's when I noticed that the bottle of children's Advil that was on the counter from the night before was opened and empty. He somehow opened the "childproof" bottle (that is hard for me to open) and drank the entire thing. I immediately called poison control where they assured me that it is nearly impossible to overdose on ibuprofen and definitely not from drinking a 4 oz bottle. I was reassured, but still a little worried, so I called my dad and he was able to calm me down. Brian even offered to come home from golf, which is monumental.
Luckily it was Advil and not Tylenol, but lesson learned nonetheless. Today all of our medications are locked away in a safe that would be very difficult for Austen to get into......I'm not going to say impossible because, well you never know with him, but difficult for sure.
