We have been spending time in the yard at our house this spring tending to all of our gardens. It has been fun trying to decide what plants we have, what we want to keep and any changes we want to make in the future.
Ethan has been my big helper out in the yard. This morning he discovered we had some mushrooms growing in one of the gardens.
He may or may not have eaten some. When asked if he ate some, his answer is yes. David tried to do some research to determine if they were posiosous or not. He was unable to come up with a definitive answer. So we called posion control to see if they could help us. After talking with posion contol we still weren't sure if the mushrooms were posionous or not. They advised us to take him to the ER.
Ethan and I headed to the ER. (a random side note, Abilene just built a new hospital and were able to check it out. It was very nice.) He was given charcoal slurry, charcoal mixed with chocolate milk. It looked terrible, but it musn't have tasted too bad because he drank it down easily. After drinking the charcoal we hung out for a while so he could be monitored. About 2 hours after we think he may have ate the mushrooms we were allowed to go home. Either he didn't really eat any of the mushrooms or the charcoal did the job because he has been right as rain all day.
Today was the first day of my summer break, I hope this is not an indicator of what the remainder of the summer will bring.
