Miriam lately has been climbing on all chairs in sight and starting to climb on the table. She then grazes on whatever is on the table as she can take lids off like the syrup, ketchup, and dressing to name the top favorites.
Wed while I was making my week menu she was busy behind me getting into things on the table. All of a sudden I hear her gag and throw up so I rush over to see what was going on. She had a bottle of water conditioner for water beds open and the blue stuff everywhere. I grabbed her up and took her to the sink to wash out her mouth and she threw up again. Quickly reading the bottle it said call the DR, so hunted up that phone number and they told me to call poison control. A very nice man there said main concern was it burning her throat so get her to drink whatever she likes, 4 oz to dilute. About the only thing she drinks is water and she would drink a little but then make her raspberry and stick her tongue out like it was a bad taste. I tried whatever else I had, Miriam wasn't interested at all. Finally in desperation I gave her medicine and that went down the best so I tried apple juice in a medicine dropper which worked better. I don't think she got much and other than burping more later I believe we made it through without undue concern. Poison control checked back with us after an hour which I thought was great and the Dr's office also checked back. Case closed.

That would freak me out Jessica! I'm glad everything was ok...luckily we haven't had any of those problems yet...close calls, but nothing's ever made it in the mouth!
Ugh, I felt sick as soon as you said "water conditioner". I'm so glad she's okay!
I didn't know if "reply" actually works...I cooked the veggies (either by baking or steaming) and just pureed the fruit. I baked the sweet potatoes and squash for an hour at 375 and steamed the rest of the veggies. I actually forgot to peel the carrots first but they turned out great. I cooked the sweet potatoes and peeled them afterward, and baked the squash by cutting them in half, de-seeding them, and putting them upside down in about 1" of water. After pureeing them, I poured them in ice cube trays, covered them with plastic wrap, and let them freeze overnight. I popped them out and put them in their own baggies. So far the fruit seems to be fairly liquidy, so I usually have to add cereal, but I'm a work in progress! :)
Yup, Stetson got into the laudry soap at my mom's house a few weeks ago - definately scary. I am so glad she is okay!
