Testing her parents patience!

I love my daughter and she is learning new things.  Yesterday Gracie decided to "find" and drink lantern oil.....  I had cleaned out the kitchen, moved the oil from under the sink into the dining room and promptly forgot I moved it.  The oil was blue and it apparently looked like Koolaid to Gracie.  We do not know how much she drank but it was very obvious to Annie that she drank some.  Maybe it was her smile as she was holding the open bottle or the look of deviance, but Annie caught on and got her to the hospital.  When I got to the hospital Gracie got checked in and taken to a room in the ER.  Annie left for a short time and I got to spend a few minutes with Gracie alone.  I took this picture just before Gracie began vomiting everything she had in her.  I was holding her at the time and I was absolutely covered in nastiness.  The nurses brought me a blue paper suit so I could change and they cleaned Gracie up.  It was a long night for all of us and we were lucky to have family close to help us out.  Gracie is now doing better and is home.  She shows little signs of problems from ingesting the oil but it is obvious she isn't 100% yet.  We hope she is back to her normal self very soon!
