The kids and I have been in Utah this week and the last 48 hours have been pretty busy. Here are the basics (the details follow):
Now for the details:
Yesterday my brother was married. It was awesome! We are so excited for Brian and Amy. And one of the best parts of it all...Amy is from Michigan!! We love having a family connection to MI.
So, why is there an "Emergency Room" picture? The temple sealing was scheduled for noon. At 10:30ish I was doing Abby's hair.
me: "Where is Briton?"
Brian: "He is downstairs."
me: "Is he doing anything bad?"
Brian: [Pause] "Um...he might be!"
me: [frantic] "What is he doing?"
Brian carried him upstairs with an open jar of cough syrup and cough syrup all over his face. I panicked. I had no idea how much he had taken, if he was going to be OK and I needed/wanted to be to my brother's wedding in an hour! (In case you're wondering - he was acting normally the entire time.)
Long story, shorter...I called poison control. They insisted we take him to the ER. I cried. I took him to the hospital (can't wait to get the bill). They were so nice to me. I told everyone I saw that my brother was getting married very, very soon. As soon as I talked to the doctor, Kaley took over watching Briton in the ER for me and I rushed to the Draper Temple. I arrived at 12:05. Everyone from the recommend desk up to the sealing room said, "Are you Sister Wessman? Don't worry they are waiting for you." The sealing was beautiful!
Kaley's boyfriend sat with Briton while she came to the temple for pictures and then I rushed back to the hospital. He got the blood test and the all clear. There was no noticeable trace of Tylenol in his blood stream. Excellent! I was fairly confident the entire time that he was OK, but until I got the all clear I couldn't help but worry.
OK...so I didn't make the story too much shorter.
The wedding dinner and reception all went so well! We had a lot of fun and I am told Brian and Amy did too. (I didn't get to talk to them too much?!?)

This is how Briton felt at the end of his busy day:
Today we went to Kaley's graduation from BYU! We are so proud of her!
I am also proud of my parents. Their kids are 5/5 college graduates. Pretty cool!

WOW! Glad you were able to make it and that he was ok. So excited to see you Tuesday!!!
wow what a trip. Glad he was fine and that they waited for you. The bride and groom look so happy.
Oh man!!! I can't believe that! Life with kids is never boring huh? I'm glad you were able to still attend the sealing. And I'm even more glad Briton is okay! How scary!
I've been doing pretty good, thanks for asking. I left work the other night with that same terrible pain I had last month, but after 24 hours or so, it's better. This baby girl can come anytime as far as I'm concerned!!!
What are the odds he even got the bottle open in the first place! I'm glad he is just fine. And that you made it to the wedding.
It's never a dull moment with little ones! I'm glad Briton is okay! It sounds like you had a wonderful trip.
Hoooo boy!! Never a dull moment! (Knocking on wood very loudly) we haven't had a poison control moment with our kids yet, but I did have to call several times when I was the scout camp EMT. Glad that everything turned out ok!
