I'm sending this on to all on my friends just in case this would happen
in your home with kids or grandkids.
Would hate to think I didn't pass it
along and something happened. but it's
just because some one cares what happens to your kids or grandkids
Yesterday, my youngest daughter, Halle , who is 4, was rushed to the
emergency room by her father for being severely lethargic and
incoherent. He was called to her school by the school secretary for
being 'very VERY sick.'
He told me that when he arrived, Halle was barely sitting in the
chair. She couldn't hold her own head up and when he looked into her
eyes, she couldn't focus them.
He immediately scooped her up and rushed her to the ER, and then
called me.
When we got there, they ran blood test after blood test and did
x-rays, every test imaginable. Her white blood cell count was normal,
nothing was out of the ordinary. The ER doctor told us that he had
done everything that he could do so he was sending her to Saint
Francis for further tests.
Right when we were leaving in the ambulance, her teacher came to the
ER and, after questioning Halle's classmates, we found out that she
had licked hand sanitizer off her hand.
Hand sanitizer, of all things.
But it makes sense. These days they have all kinds of different scents and
when you have a curious child, they are going to put all kinds of things
into their mouths.
When we arrived at Saint Francis, we told the ER doctor there to check
her blood alcohol level, and yes we did get weird looks, but they did
it. The results showed her blood alcohol level was 85% -- six hours
after we first took her. There's no telling what it would have been if
we would have requested it at the first ER.
Since then, her school and a few surrounding schools have taken this
out of the classrooms of all the lower grade classes, but what's to
stop middle and high school kids from ingesting the stuff?
After doing research on the Internet, we have found out that it only
takes 3 squirts of the stuff to be fatal in a toddler. For her blood
alcohol level to be so high was to compare someone her size to
drinking something 120 proof. So please PLEASE don't disregard this
because I don't ever want anyone else to go through what my family and
I have gone through..
Please send this to everyone you know who has children or are going to
be having children. It doesn't matter what age.
