Well, I had to call Poison Control Center today. It works just fine over Skype! The man who answered said "Now where are you calling from? I've worked here 17 years and haven't ever seen a caller ID like yours!"
It was in the afternoon. I was typing on the computer and listening to sounds on Jonathan behind me happily playing with his toys. I heard rattling and clicking sounds along with his babbling comments to himself. A few minutes lapsed and then I heard choking, spitting, fussy sounds and then protesting and crying. I found Jonathan with a mouth full of reddish-brown pasty stuff and fished a partial capsule out of his mouth. He had climbed on the windowsill to reach the table and managed to grab Dave's pill organizer off the table. Now a days, he wants to copy his Daddy in every way so he was quite pleased with himself to get a hold of Daddy's pills! Fortunately, Dave doesn't have any truly dangerous medications. Jonathan had eaten one of the red rice yeast capsules which Dave is taking for his cholesterol. I wasn't overly concerned. Once I got his mouth washed out, he seemed fine. I thought to call Poison Control about 20 minutes later, and they confirmed that he would be fine. We're so thankful for God's care in this.
The main thing for us to learn is that Jonathan is gaining new skills each day and that he can reach and do things now that we might not expect!
If any of you have any spare Mr. Yuk stickers, would you hold on to them for me? I think I could use them as a teaching aide.
