My son woke up at 3am in a coughing fit so I went and got the cough medicine. In my half-sleep I didn't even pay attention to dosage and just filled up the little cup thing. It turns out that I gave him 4+ times the normal dosage (it had codine in it). Hmm, I thought he would sleep it off for a few days but I called poison control to make sure he would be ok. They weren't too happy with me. They ordered me to the ER so he could be monitored. So I spent the morning cuddled with him on the ER bed watching a movie with him. It turns out that instead of getting really sleepy he got all wired and wide awake and chatty. 2.5 hours later I got him back into his own bed. I am now banned from drug dispensing. By the time I got home, it was time to wake up so a quick 1 mile run and the usual exercises and stretches and then into work. The IT band felt better today than yesterday, but it was done at 1 mile. |
