Very Frightening Experience

Took my 1 year old and 3 year old away over the weekend whilst DH doing DIY on the house. Whilst packing up to leave yesterday, found ds2 age 1 with a blister pack of tablets in his hand. The tablets did not belong to me (transpired they had been left at the back of a drawer by a previous occupant and the room had not been cleared properly by chambermaids). About 10 tablets were missing and as I had been in the bathroom, tidying up for approx 5 minutes, I could not be sure he had/had not taken any. Dashed to local hospital - tablets were apparently for treating high blood pressure. Had to be transferred to larger hospital and ds1 admitted for the day for monitoring of blood pressure and heartrate. Thankfully, all turned out ok and he had not taken any. I feel so relieved, but dreadfully upset about the whole thing. I demanded and got a refund, but no-one apologised for what had happened.

poor you 2GB. Sounds really scary.

oh god how horrible for you. Have you stopped shaking yet, I don't think I would have done.

You should complain, complain, complain about this at the highest level you can, publicly if necessary. I assume if you were there with 2 littlies on your own that it's a family friendly place, so they should be flogging themselves for this.

Heck, how frightening

I feel a STRONG letter to the hotel coming on.....

KangaMummy · 11/07/2004 23:52

that is awful I think it is terrible that they didn't care about your DS.

I would have been so scared

Hope he is ok now

That is terrible! They should have at least offered an apology. I think a very strong letter is in order.

Yes, am going to write a letter to the Chairman or MD of the organisation, otherwise, I think the incident will be brushed under the carpet. Another child might be less fortunate next time unless there is a thorough review.
