Ask for an itemized receipt for the hospital bill. They throw in random charges and when you get the itemized bill it’s lower than it would be if you didn’t ask for it. 💗 so glad the babies are okay!
I did that! After I had my son the hospital said I had a bill in collections that I didn’t pay and it was like $3,000 and I asked them to send me the receipt for what it was for and the bill was literally like $360 or something like that.
I don't live in the US so I don't know how the health system works in detail, but I feel like that is just wrong and disturbing. Adding an additional $3000 to the bill for no reason shouldn't be allowed.
Exactly! In italy is the same.. Going to the hospital and thinking about insurance/bills is literally too much to deal with! They should do something in the us to change this!
@@Iluvhorses122 Lmao, it's still a joke even if you have a job and especially so when compared to other developed nations (US is around the top of the list for most expensive, poorest access AND poorest health outcomes). Also re the "not if you have a job" comment, the US system doesn't account for people who work in alternative jobs (for example, youtubers). Even if you do have health insurance, the US has each private health insurance negotiate medication prices so usually they're still extremely high when compared to countries like Australia where the government specifically negotiates a set low price. Truthfully, there is no positive argument for the US healthcare system.
girl my 7 yr old . used cough medicine for mouth wash the begining of this yr. . called poison control. . they just said he might be a little sleepy.. moral of my story. . shit happens. doesn't make you a bad mom.
oh mama, my mama heart is so so with you. we beat ourselves up SOOOO much more than anyone else possibly could. But the positive here - you sharing this story can save other peoples lives. Parents make mistakes, were tired, weve got tons going on, stressed, busy. Give yourself some grace. They are okay and you followed your mama gut and got them the help they needed
I would listen to poison control versus the doctor. Doctor’s don’t have as much knowledge of levels of toxicity that the poison center does. While you may think it was a lot of money to take them in for the tests at the hospital, it is always better to be safe than sorry, especially since they aren’t even 2 yet. I have a 13 month old and I would definitely take my baby to the hospital too because you just don’t know and they are so small!
Being a parent didn't come with a manual, and we all know that u are doing your best and it shows, you are such a good mom. Don't pay attention to those comments that are trying to say other thing, sending you lots of love
I would trust a doctor over a poison control worker for these reasons; doctors go through much more rigorous training, they have more specific/accurate information on the patients, and they have more experience with the outcome of the treatment they give.
@@sarahjane262 Doctors actually call poison control for the information on the drug, any antidotes, what to look for, toxicity levels, etc. So, while the doctors are the ones who are able to medically evaluate the patient's current status, they actually are not always the ones with the most knowledge over a potential poisoning/overdose. If you are ever in an ER (hopefully you won't be), you will often hear pages for a doctor with poison control on the line. Moral of the story, call poison control and seek medical attention.
@@shannonkelly1609 interesting! I didn’t know that. Thankfully I don’t have a lot of experience in ERs. It sounds like poison control workers and doctors are able to best diagnose and treat patients together.
Sarah Jane Just replying and echoing what Shannon said, it’s extremely common for doctors to call poison control for information. A few years back I ended up in the ER with a critical set of symptoms that doctors were trying to figure out, and one of the avenues they explored was if my body was improperly metabolizing some of the medications I was on potentially causing my body to improperly hold onto them resulting in the possibility that I had a toxic level of them in my system. That didn’t end up being the cause of my symptoms, but almost immediately the doctors working on me in the ER called and spoke at length with poison control, even having poison control send a printout walkthrough of the steps of what to look out for and how to manage the issue going forward if the toxicity was found to be the problem. Before that happened, I would have never known or guessed that poison control had superior knowledge over doctors about poisonings and toxicity, even to the point of doctors fully relying on them for information. It’s quite fascinating, and is also good information for the public to know that calling poison control is putting you in contact with the top experts in the field!
Girl, I don’t have kids but I work with them and things happen sometimes. At work we had to call poison control for a girl drinking stuff in a ice pack that she somehow got open and this was elementary school age
I worked at a school and it's so scary when situation like that happened because these are other people's kids. Once this little girl stuck a googly eye in her nose when none of 3 teachers weren't looking and she had it there for 2 whole days. Honestly stuff like this happens and all we can hope is to be more cautious with kids because they are always curious and learning.
Most hospitals have charity care. So what happens is once you get the bill in the mail, you call them and they will help pay a portion of the bill and put you on a payment plan. Good luck!! I'm glad the babies are doing much better. Your such a good mom❤
Same! I did too. I have 2 boys. 1 almost 7 years old and another who will be 2 in 2 days.. So very close in age to Luke and Zeke. I know how fast and sneaky toddlers can be and I felt for her this entire video!
accidents happen and you would be surprised what toddlers can do and get into. Your doing amazing and are the best mom to those boys! keep your head up and keep up the good work
I’m lucky I was able to get my kids on Medicaid but if me or my husband applied for ourselves we would have to make under $300 a month.. that’s just ridiculous. I stay home with the kids because child care is outrageous and I just watch a couple kids at home for a few days out of the week. My husbands hours where severely cut due to covid.. assistance for anything from our government is awful
I am so glad that the boys are fine. I freaked out when I saw the tittle.. I’ve with u Sophie since the first video. And I hope that nothing like this happens ever again. I love you guys.
I think even if poison control said they would be fine, it would be the best thing to still go to the hospital and get them checked out! I don’t think I would’ve been able to calm down if I didn’t know for sure that they’d be okay!
I’m so sorry Sophie. My sister did the same thing when she was little. Child lock and all she opened the bottle. She’s okay I hope you and your kids are doing okay and I wish you the best. Health insurance is ridiculous and it has nothing to with you. No matter what the bills are ridiculous. Good luck with everything, you are doing amazing!
Don't be too hard on yourself. One of my roommates accidentally mixed opposite cleaning supplies (i dont remember specific products, but it creates a toxic gas when mixed) and couldn't breathe and had to call poison control. It happens. Im glad both boys were ok in the end and no permanent harm was done, which is what's important. It doesnt make you a bad mom for missing something 💕 but now you know how mobile your boys are and made the changes you needed.
@@ceciliazangrandi9862 yeah, I think that's what it was. She was ok, but it just goes to show that even adults can make mistakes and need poison control. She knew you cant mix those two things, but she didn't realize that it was two different types of cleaning products because she ran out of one so she grabbed the other and then felt pain in her chest. Accidents happen so there's no reason for Sophie to feel guilty or be hard on herself for an honest mistake.
omg i cannot imagine how scared you must've been!! so glad the boys are ok. it's absolutely crazy to me that you have to worry about bills and insurance - i live in the UK and would never think twice about calling an ambulance in a situation like that as everything is free! x
Sophie girl, you are a great mom. Shit happens. Especially with kids. I have 2 boys. My oldest will be 7 next month, and my youngest will be 2 in 2 days. Toddlers are sneaky! Ive had different scares with both. Good moms do beat ourselves up over it and learn from our mistakes and accidents. You did everything right making sure they were ok. I am so so glad they are both ok. I know we don't personally know you but I've watched you become a great mom and the boys grow up! Again YOU ARE AN AMAZING MOM!!!! 💛💛💛
@@KatTheTruth it was a one time thing. Keep overdosing on tylenol? It hasnt happened before this. Toddlers are so fast and sneaky. My son is about a month older than the twins and I know the exact stage and things she is dealing with. She already said she beat herself up over it. She doesnt need others saying bullshit nonsense and untrue things. The bullshit I'm talking about is you making it seem like this is a common occurrence shes posted about. Gtfoh
@@angelabernau7060 Yes toddlers are fast and sneaky but they weren't at fault in this case. She left them alone in their room while she napped for two hours and forgot about a medicine bottle she had left in their room. Not sneaky toddlers, just a mom not paying attention.
@@LaurainFlorida Baby monitor is a good idea although as a mother she should understand her child's sleeping patterns. I know my child sleeps through the night and wakes around 4am to feed so I know to be awake for then.
It's crazy to me coming from England that in the US on shitty days when you have to go to the hospital you have to worry about the bill on top of everything else, although the NHS is a nightmare in so many ways it really is a blessing that when people are literally having the worst days of their life for whatever reason they can go to the hospital and be treated and not have to worry for a second about how much it's going to cost
you handled this as best as you could. you're an amazing mum and don't beat yourself up. as you said it's a learning curve. im glad to hear both boys are doing well
Mistakes happen girl! Some people would say “why weren’t you watching them” and all this stuff but you can’t ALWAYS have your eyes on both of them. I would totally recommend getting a baby camera that records 24/7 so you can watch back in the future just in case something happens again.
I am a pediatrician that works in a pediatric ER and you were 100% right to take them in. Each person metabolizes medications differently. So one bottle to one kid may end up not being toxic where to another kid it could. Poison control was correct to send you in. I take any Tylenol ingestion very seriously as I’ve seen devastating outcomes. That doctor could say they would have been okay drinking the entire bottle only because she knew their Tylenol levels at that point! And maybe on a different day, a whole bottle wouldn’t be okay for them because it depends on so many factors. And don’t beat yourself up over this. We see accidental ingestions all the time. Use it as an opportunity to educate other parents and to re-evaluate your baby proofing like you did!
My boy is 3.5 months and this was a great reminder that I need to baby proof soon! We get in habits and forget that the littles will do what we least expect. Thank you for sharing, you could be saving someone else from doing the same thing!
I'm not sure if you have one but a baby monitor is incredibly helpful especially now that they can get out of their cribs. It will give you peace of mind too.
I can't imagine having to pay For hospital bills outta my pocket. I live in Canada and we have free health insurance so i cant imagine having to do that. Your so strong hun we love you
one time at three years old, my mom left me in the car seat at the gas station while she went inside quickly to pay. While she was in there, the guy checking her out said, "ma'am i think someone is stealing your car." at three, i was able to get out of my car seat, get up to the drivers seat, put the car in gear, and pretend i was driving. Kids will ALWAYS find a way and surprise you hahah
Oh my wow I had a cousin that was misbehaving so they put him in the jeep to keep him a bit confined and calm down and also to feed him. And the parent came out to get water or sumn for the kid And he was playing with the stuff infront and made the car go foward and almost hit other cousins around and also almost went into the wall Yup .....
Sophie I really admire you as a person like you’re sooo brave and mature I’m speechless. Don’t feel bad because stuff like this happens. The twins are so lucky to have such an amazing mom. I hope you stay safe!!❤️
my 2yr old once bit the top plastic cap of one right in half 😬 I had let him play with it right in front of me, knowing it was shut and I was right there. so I literally saw him split it and the medicine pour all out, a small amount in his mouth. Not very smart of me to let him in the first place but I learned my lesson there. Those things may be child safe but they’re not foolproof.
Because she is irresponsible and left it unopened on a damn windowsill. She says she doesn’t remember if she put the cap on... so that must mean she didn’t put it on
Make sure all the furniture in their nursery is mounted as well & buy those magnetic locks for all the drawers. You've probably already done that but just in case you didnt think of it yet.
She also needs to get rid of the blinds with the cords hanging down in the window. They are a strangulation hazard. Babies and toddlers get tangled in them and then quietly suffocate. No one would even know until it was too late. Very dangerous. Just get a pull down shade instead.
So glad they’re all good now. My son swallowed a polished stone the size of quarter at about that age. He came running in the room not being able to breath or talk. Thank god, I knew what to do bcoz of my infant CPR/ first aid course. Even if you don’t take a legit course, watch some RUclips’s on it. It is so worth it!
Oh, no honey. I am so sorry this happened to you. We love you so much and keep being such an amazing mom. You should get the best mom of the year award.
You actually should never try to make the child throw up, at least until you’ve talked to poison control. There is a risk of aspiration instead and it is very dangerous!
Look into CHIP or Medicaid the babies, if I remember right it’s easier to get coverage from them if you have preexisting conditions, like the babies seizures!
The fact that she has two cars for herself and makes probably $100k a year plus on RUclips surely disqualifies her. She could get rid of a car and could afford insurance for her kids
Josh likely has lower income and could likely qualify for medicaid for himself and the kids. That being said they live in the south so medicaid is terrible there.
so many hate comments.. do y’all realize how young she is while also raising twin toddlers? give her a break, she’s trying her best. the babies are happy, accidents happen and she obviously loves them so much she’s doing what she can
You did great, Sophie!🤍 A good help would be a video monitor that records so in these situations you could play back the footage and see what they did for yourself since they can’t tell u yet. Sending love from PR 🇵🇷🤍
I can only imagine how you felt , I have a son around your twins age and I get the mom guilt ! I hope your not beating yourself up too hard .. and I’m so glad you were able to speak about this publicly it takes a lot of guts. Parenting is a learning experience , and you’re doing a great job ❤️
The dosage on the bottle, where it says the maximum amount of tylenol that is for their age or weight is actually about a fourth of what is too much. They do it that way so that you do have room, to mix up or dose one time too many on accident and not lethally hurt your child. I had never known that myself, and wouldnt have known that had I not taken medical classes for AUA and CNA, phlebotomy and laboratory testing courses..
I’m so sorry this happened!! I’m also sorry about our health care system here in America!! Sending much love and prayers your way that this never happens again!! May you and your family be blessed in every way possible!! 💗💗
for a little clarification if after taking blood the level of Tylenol in their systems is at 150 or above it can become toxic to their livers, a medication to counteract the effects and preserve the liver needs to be administered also just wanted to say that you handled the situation amazingly and shit happens so don't beat yourself up too much
I'm sorry you had to go through that, They have a bathroom in their Room do you make sure that they cannot get in there They can drown in the toilet. I am not trying to be critical, But don't you change their clothes before they go to bed? In the vlog You put them to sleep after picking them up from daycare in the same clothes they were wearing all day, And the only reason it concerns me I am sure that a ton of germs all over those clothes
@@gem.g9260 first she said she was when the kids drank the medicine and second I'm a single mom that works all the time and I have my kids full time all the time and I still do what I need to do
I dont think it's that big of a deal 🤷♀️ they seem to be fairly clean and healthy. "Germs" are in the air we breath..As a social worker I see all their basic needs being met, including mile stones. Unless your going to go help her, maybe you shouldn't be quick to judge...
All the medicine for the family is locked up in a medicine box high on the wall in the bathroom. Never let medicine stay in the kids bedroom, they get everywhere
I agree with this 10000% if a kid sees something they want, they will get it no questions asked. In the blink of an eye everything can change! Medicine is something not to be taken lightly! Our medicine cabinet is locked and up high too! Our cleaning supplies are locked under the sink as well!
Everyone can say this or that, but the bottom line is that stuff happens! She did the correct thing by taking her boys to the hospital, she did her BEST and double checked to prevent further accidents. There is not one way to raise a child, and shes doing a great job! Praise God those boys are okay!
About the straightener thing. I’ve done it and it broke my hair so much. It took me a minute to master it but it literally gave me split ends like woah and just damaged my hair more that a curling iron
Hi Sophie, med student here. First of all, don't beat yourself up, this could happen to anyone! Sometimes toddlers work in magical ways, for example I managed to open a babyproof sanitizing alcohol bottle at 2 years old. 😀 Although I'm european, pretty sure the hospital had to take so many tests and run this whole course because it's now their responsibility if anything happens when they let you go home with the boys. They kind of have to make sure, even if it's not a logical possibility that they have been poisoned. I'm so glad you're all okay. You're doing amazing, love you.
I feel like while this does happen it could have also easily been avoided. Don't leave medicine in their room. Have a designated place like in a cabinet up where they can not get into. Regardless, I would have been just as scared. Being a single mom is hard.
Make sure you clean and put everything away in the bathrooms and kitchen as well. Kids, it a couple of seconds, can grab whatever they see that look like food and eat/drink it. Happy to hear that they are fine
Wow how did they open the bottle!? Usually those bottles are sealed up & kid proof especially for kids their age. I’m so sorry this happened, I’m glad they’re better. 😩
You are doing a great job!! As for the cribs- you can put the mattress on the floor with the crib still up. If that makes any sense. I would keep the boys in the crib as long as you can!
Sophie, please, if this EVER happens again, immediately call 911. Don’t waste valuable time by calling your mom or anyone else, especially when they are so young and can’t tell you what happened. You will never go wrong by calling 911.
Don't beat yourself up. Accidents happen. You are still a good Mom. When my kids were small I called poison control a lot. One timey kid drank dishsoap and another one sprayed clorox in his eyes. I felt so bad washing his eyes out at 1 yrs old.
Ask for an itemized receipt for the hospital bill. They throw in random charges and when you get the itemized bill it’s lower than it would be if you didn’t ask for it. 💗 so glad the babies are okay!
Yes! Commenting to make sure this important comment doesn’t get lost.
This is true I did something similar with mu father bill. It ended being 2,000 lower
hopefully she sees this!!

@@angelabernau7060 Yes toddlers are fast and sneaky but they weren't at fault in this case. She left them alone in their room while she napped for two hours and forgot about a medicine bottle she had left in their room. Not sneaky toddlers, just a mom not paying attention.
@@Kat_288 who watches them all night when she’s asleep?
@@LaurainFlorida Baby monitor is a good idea although as a mother she should understand her child's sleeping patterns. I know my child sleeps through the night and wakes around 4am to feed so I know to be awake for then.
Don’t beat yourself up too much Sophie. Accidents happen and the main thing is the boys are ok ❤️❤️
Stay strong Sophie! You are a great mama
Okay, but I need to know how you got them on a schedule? Sleep routine!
It's crazy to me coming from England that in the US on shitty days when you have to go to the hospital you have to worry about the bill on top of everything else, although the NHS is a nightmare in so many ways it really is a blessing that when people are literally having the worst days of their life for whatever reason they can go to the hospital and be treated and not have to worry for a second about how much it's going to cost
you handled this as best as you could. you're an amazing mum and don't beat yourself up. as you said it's a learning curve. im glad to hear both boys are doing well
girl you're so darn strong 💕praying for your sweet boys! love you xo
Soph u handled this sooo freaking amazing!!! So glad y’all are good❤️❤️
Mistakes happen girl! Some people would say “why weren’t you watching them” and all this stuff but you can’t ALWAYS have your eyes on both of them. I would totally recommend getting a baby camera that records 24/7 so you can watch back in the future just in case something happens again.
I am a pediatrician that works in a pediatric ER and you were 100% right to take them in. Each person metabolizes medications differently. So one bottle to one kid may end up not being toxic where to another kid it could. Poison control was correct to send you in. I take any Tylenol ingestion very seriously as I’ve seen devastating outcomes. That doctor could say they would have been okay drinking the entire bottle only because she knew their Tylenol levels at that point! And maybe on a different day, a whole bottle wouldn’t be okay for them because it depends on so many factors. And don’t beat yourself up over this. We see accidental ingestions all the time. Use it as an opportunity to educate other parents and to re-evaluate your baby proofing like you did!
My boy is 3.5 months and this was a great reminder that I need to baby proof soon! We get in habits and forget that the littles will do what we least expect. Thank you for sharing, you could be saving someone else from doing the same thing!
Omg ! I can imagine how you felt !! For being alone you handled it all so well 💙 I’m glad they’re okay !
I'm not sure if you have one but a baby monitor is incredibly helpful especially now that they can get out of their cribs. It will give you peace of mind too.
I love how supportive this comment section this is amazing to see
Girl of course I’m watching I’ll do anything for you and the boys always ❤️❤️
Such a learning experience for others moms to. Thanks for share the experience and info on what to do 💕💖
The same thing happened to me with my son it was terrifying I’m glad there okay! ❤️
I can't imagine having to pay For hospital bills outta my pocket. I live in Canada and we have free health insurance so i cant imagine having to do that. Your so strong hun we love you
You pay way more in taxes
@@Iluvhorses122 not wayy more taxes
@@Iluvhorses122 I rather pay more taxes than thousands of dollars in medical bills.
one time at three years old, my mom left me in the car seat at the gas station while she went inside quickly to pay. While she was in there, the guy checking her out said, "ma'am i think someone is stealing your car." at three, i was able to get out of my car seat, get up to the drivers seat, put the car in gear, and pretend i was driving. Kids will ALWAYS find a way and surprise you hahah
Damn you were one determined toddler haha
@@b.josephine769 determined to give my mother a heart attack hahah
@@leigharogers4860 hahahaha I would die if one of my toddlers did that to me lolll
Oh my wow
I had a cousin that was misbehaving so they put him in the jeep to keep him a bit confined and calm down and also to feed him.
And the parent came out to get water or sumn for the kid
And he was playing with the stuff infront and made the car go foward and almost hit other cousins around and also almost went into the wall
Yup
.....
Things happen its okay
this is the earliest i’ve watched one of your videos❤️🥰
Sophie I really admire you as a person like you’re sooo brave and mature I’m speechless. Don’t feel bad because stuff like this happens. The twins are so lucky to have such an amazing mom. I hope you stay safe!!❤️
How did they get it open? Those caps are super secure! Asking because I have a baby the same age 😩
my 2yr old once bit the top plastic cap of one right in half 😬 I had let him play with it right in front of me, knowing it was shut and I was right there. so I literally saw him split it and the medicine pour all out, a small amount in his mouth. Not very smart of me to let him in the first place but I learned my lesson there. Those things may be child safe but they’re not foolproof.
The cap wasn’t on or they bit it open
Because she is irresponsible and left it unopened on a damn windowsill. She says she doesn’t remember if she put the cap on... so that must mean she didn’t put it on
Make sure all the furniture in their nursery is mounted as well & buy those magnetic locks for all the drawers. You've probably already done that but just in case you didnt think of it yet.
She also needs to get rid of the blinds with the cords hanging down in the window. They are a strangulation hazard. Babies and toddlers get tangled in them and then quietly suffocate. No one would even know until it was too late. Very dangerous. Just get a pull down shade instead.
@@luvsunshine4825 yeah I have said the same!!! So many babies have died that way
Glad the boys are okay. That must have been so scary for you guys Sophie and Josh. You handled it really well Sophie. You are doing awesome. ❤️
So glad they’re all good now. My son swallowed a polished stone the size of quarter at about that age. He came running in the room not being able to breath or talk. Thank god, I knew what to do bcoz of my infant CPR/ first aid course. Even if you don’t take a legit course, watch some RUclips’s on it. It is so worth it!
Oh, no honey. I am so sorry this happened to you. We love you so much and keep being such an amazing mom. You should get the best mom of the year award.
You actually should never try to make the child throw up, at least until you’ve talked to poison control. There is a risk of aspiration instead and it is very dangerous!
And some items that are ingested can cause more harm if they are thrown up.
I'm glad they are both okay!!! I'm proud of how you handled it! You're a great mom!!!
Look into CHIP or Medicaid the babies, if I remember right it’s easier to get coverage from them if you have preexisting conditions, like the babies seizures!
It looks like she makes too much to qualify for it if her networth is anywhere near accurate.
medicaid is for families in poverty, not families who have money but just need to budget and prioritize where the funds are allocated.
The fact that she has two cars for herself and makes probably $100k a year plus on RUclips surely disqualifies her. She could get rid of a car and could afford insurance for her kids
Says her net worth it 411k
Josh likely has lower income and could likely qualify for medicaid for himself and the kids. That being said they live in the south so medicaid is terrible there.
so many hate comments.. do y’all realize how young she is while also raising twin toddlers? give her a break, she’s trying her best. the babies are happy, accidents happen and she obviously loves them so much she’s doing what she can
I LOVE your school updates and routines, etc.. You super inspire me to keep going back each term. Second term starting Monday for me 🙏🏼
Omg they’re so big now I remember when they were born 😧😧
Ikr.
You did great, Sophie!🤍 A good help would be a video monitor that records so in these situations you could play back the footage and see what they did for yourself since they can’t tell u yet. Sending love from PR 🇵🇷🤍
you are such an amazing mom and did the right thing for them they are so lucky to have such a caring and mature mother 🤍🤍
I can only imagine how you felt , I have a son around your twins age and I get the mom guilt ! I hope your not beating yourself up too hard .. and I’m so glad you were able to speak about this publicly it takes a lot of guts. Parenting is a learning experience , and you’re doing a great job ❤️
i’m so glad they are ok!! that must have been scary! sending love 💕 you are so strong
The dosage on the bottle, where it says the maximum amount of tylenol that is for their age or weight is actually about a fourth of what is too much. They do it that way so that you do have room, to mix up or dose one time too many on accident and not lethally hurt your child.
I had never known that myself, and wouldnt have known that had I not taken medical classes for AUA and CNA, phlebotomy and laboratory testing courses..
Imagine if the twins decide to get their own channel when they get older
I’m so sorry this happened!! I’m also sorry about our health care system here in America!! Sending much love and prayers your way that this never happens again!! May you and your family be blessed in every way possible!! 💗💗
for a little clarification if after taking blood the level of Tylenol in their systems is at 150 or above it can become toxic to their livers, a medication to counteract the effects and preserve the liver needs to be administered
also just wanted to say that you handled the situation amazingly and shit happens so don't beat yourself up too much
I’m glad they are okay! Always praying for you guys
i love your channel, i been watching since the boys were tiny. Your such a great mother always remember that❤️
I'm sorry you had to go through that, They have a bathroom in their Room do you make sure that they cannot get in there They can drown in the toilet. I am not trying to be critical, But don't you change their clothes before they go to bed? In the vlog You put them to sleep after picking them up from daycare in the same clothes they were wearing all day, And the only reason it concerns me I am sure that a ton of germs all over those clothes
I was thinking the same thing
yh but like she said, she was exhausted.
@@gem.g9260 first she said she was when the kids drank the medicine and second I'm a single mom that works all the time and I have my kids full time all the time and I still do what I need to do
@@gem.g9260 this isn't the first time. Or 2nd or 3rd. This is a normal occurrence in that household
I dont think it's that big of a deal 🤷♀️ they seem to be fairly clean and healthy. "Germs" are in the air we breath..As a social worker I see all their basic needs being met, including mile stones. Unless your going to go help her, maybe you shouldn't be quick to judge...
dear person reading this, ur so loved and worthy🦋stay safe!!
likewise
thank you Sophie for sharing your story with us. you’re a great mother
Sending prayer. You’re such a good mama ❤️
I think poison control just told you to go to the ER for precaution.
yes 100%. must be protocol so they dont get sued for saying somethings okay if its not.
Omg I've been watching your videos for a long time now and I can finally see the difference between the babies. I'm so proud of myself 😎
All the medicine for the family is locked up in a medicine box high on the wall in the bathroom. Never let medicine stay in the kids bedroom, they get everywhere
I agree with this 10000% if a kid sees something they want, they will get it no questions asked. In the blink of an eye everything can change! Medicine is something not to be taken lightly! Our medicine cabinet is locked and up high too! Our cleaning supplies are locked under the sink as well!
I'm not ready for that type of fear as a mom 😭 you are such a strong brave mama!
You an amazing smother Soph ❤️ your reactions the actions you took your literally a superhero ❤️❤️❤️
Everyone can say this or that, but the bottom line is that stuff happens! She did the correct thing by taking her boys to the hospital, she did her BEST and double checked to prevent further accidents. There is not one way to raise a child, and shes doing a great job! Praise God those boys are okay!
I’ve heard that they only sell children’s medicine in sizes where even if the entire thing is consumed, it’s not toxic for exactly this reason!
Hope everything is okay 🙏🏼❤️ stay safe love 💕
About the straightener thing. I’ve done it and it broke my hair so much. It took me a minute to master it but it literally gave me split ends like woah and just damaged my hair more that a curling iron
Hi Sophie, med student here. First of all, don't beat yourself up, this could happen to anyone! Sometimes toddlers work in magical ways, for example I managed to open a babyproof sanitizing alcohol bottle at 2 years old. 😀 Although I'm european, pretty sure the hospital had to take so many tests and run this whole course because it's now their responsibility if anything happens when they let you go home with the boys. They kind of have to make sure, even if it's not a logical possibility that they have been poisoned. I'm so glad you're all okay. You're doing amazing, love you.
I would of went to the ER also you done the right thing!!!
But how did they get the top off ?? They are hard to get off ?
Aww bless your heart Sophie. Im so sorry to hear this happened to you. You did great keeping it together
I feel like while this does happen it could have also easily been avoided. Don't leave medicine in their room. Have a designated place like in a cabinet up where they can not get into. Regardless, I would have been just as scared. Being a single mom is hard.
Make sure you clean and put everything away in the bathrooms and kitchen as well. Kids, it a couple of seconds, can grab whatever they see that look like food and eat/drink it. Happy to hear that they are fine
Wow how did they open the bottle!? Usually those bottles are sealed up & kid proof especially for kids their age. I’m so sorry this happened, I’m glad they’re better. 😩
i think they probably bit it open, those caps aren’t always too secure
my daughter can open any medicine. it’s scary.
Yeah that’s scary those should b kid proof, kids are way to smart nowadays. 😭 have to really start locking things up.
You are doing a great job!! As for the cribs- you can put the mattress on the floor with the crib still up. If that makes any sense. I would keep the boys in the crib as long as you can!
You can get a mesh crib canopy to prevent that!
So glad they are doing better and agree you handled it perfectly. You are an amazing mother
Sophie, please, if this EVER happens again, immediately call 911. Don’t waste valuable time by calling your mom or anyone else, especially when they are so young and can’t tell you what happened. You will never go wrong by calling 911.
Don't beat yourself up. Accidents happen. You are still a good Mom. When my kids were small I called poison control a lot. One timey kid drank dishsoap and another one sprayed clorox in his eyes. I felt so bad washing his eyes out at 1 yrs old.
Yup
It hurts to do to your little loves
But uk you gotta do what you gotta do
Wehh
Girl you’re good. You’re a first time mom and with twins!!! Shit happens don’t be to hard on yourself. Keep pushing love 💖
This makes me appreciate my country (germany) and the health care system so much! I could never imagine paying so much for insurance or medical bills
