We had a poisoning scare this weekend when she had gotten to an empty bottle of Draino.
I had put the bottle by the door and was planning to throw it away on my way out. We were on our way to the museum and were just about to leave. I went to fill our water bottles and heard a scream come from the patio. It was Seraphine and she was crying and yelling for help. I looked and saw that she had put the bottle to her mouth. She was in some kind of pain. How much did she drink? Was her mouth burned? What about her throat?
Long story short, we rushed her to the ER, she stayed overnight, and was released the next day. Tests came out normal and she has no trouble eating. There appears to be no damage to her mouth or esophagus. In fact, she ate a bowl of porridge and a pineapple cake after her 24 hour fast. The staff was helpful and friendly.
Thank God for His mercy! We are so grateful that she is all right. And glad we live across the street from the hospital.
