18 Halls cough drops=red puke

What happens when an 18 month old chomps up a whole bag of cherry red Halls cough drops?

I’m glad you asked! Let me tell you!

*****Do not read this while eating. I don’t recommend it.*****

Laurelyn found a bag of cherry red drops on Chuck’s bedside table. She sat down, hidden by the edge of the bed and ate them all up. A couple hours later I pulled her out of bed after a nap and put her into the bathtub. She was fussing and uncomfortable. Before I could figure out what was wrong with her she was puking bright red, fruit scented puke.

Do you know what the funny thing about puking in the tub is? I had splattered red puke splash off up from the water and cover my glasses and splatter on my shirt. Luckily, vomiting is considered a good thing when your baby has eaten a bag of cough drops. The poison control center said she’ll be fine and to just keep an eye on her.

An eye on her!?!

Are you kidding me? Every time she makes any noise at all I freeze, waiting for the chaos to start all over again.

I’m counting the minutes to bedtime.

  1. Yuk, just dropped by – Happy VGNO

    I see I caught one of your more interesting posts. LOL – I hope your little one feels better soon. Drop by and visit me sometime. Love to hear from you.

  2. OK, I’m totally laughing, my little guy is 23 months & I can see him getting into a lot of trouble, but since he barely eats anything but crackers, toast & quesadillas, it’s difficult to imagine him eat tons of anything like that. And really, Halls cough drops? I think they taste horrible, so funny that she’d even eat one! So glad she’s doing ok and she shouldn’t have a sore throat for a while…. :)

    Hope you have a great holiday season! :) Happy VGNO!
