Burrell! Yikes! I know that if it were my child, hearing medical facts and figures from an internet friend wouldn't make me feel better in the way that getting a clean bill of health from the doctor would, but....
I just looked some stuff up, and it's very uncommon -- even with an excessively high dose -- for children to suffer any toxic effects from Tylenol. Apparently they metabolize it in a different way than adults do, and that's why they're very unlikely to experience toxicity.
Like I said, I know that's a poor substitute for hearing from Franny's doctor, but I thought I'd post the info anyway.
ackk! I think the fact that she deciced to take them is very scary .
Oh, Burrell! Much calm~ma headed your way.
Thanks everyone. I am worried, but I'm not freaking out just because I know that we are doing the right thing.

Yeah, that's what the Poison Control guy said.
Okay, my MiL is here, so I think we'll go to the ER too.
Oh man, Burrell. I'm hoping for the best for all of you -- including you having to wait and see. Eek.
Burrell! How scary! I hope that Franny and the little one are both good and that you hear that soonest.
Yikes, Burrell. Very scary, though I am sure it will all be fine. Please let us know when you hear more.
ACK! Burrell, I hope the babies are OK!
Someone just totalled a parked car right in front of my house. They missed my car, but my neighbor's car had its rear end completely smashed in.
What I hate most about snowy weather isn't the mucky roads. That gets cleared up fairly soon. However, parking lots remain ice rinks--unless they're just masses of ice ridges--and most of the parking lots have slopes in the driveways to the street. Those slopes always collect ice, which no one bothers to clear, so when you have to slow down to pull in or have to stop to wait for a break in traffic to leave, you're almost always stranded on a patch of ice.
Boy, I'm glad I've got studded tires.
Poor little Franny! Glad she took something relatively easy to deal with. Still, it's gotta be terribly nervous-making for you.
