For your information- I do not just let my kids play with epi-pens, but seeing as how - if you need them- you need them immediatly they are NEVER locked or left up too high,but they do stay in my bag inside another bag that we carry around. But so far the threat of a fast acting needle being injected automaticly into your skin has make my kids scared enough to stay away. UNTIL LAST NIGHT !!!! Tanner came screaming up to me with a bleeding hand. After looking around we saw this............ an injected EPI PEN! After doing our own little triage and deciding he was fine, we all calmed down and proceeded to clean him up.
The needle had gone in through the middle of his finger and out the bottom. we think it may have hit his knuckle bone because the tip of the needle came out bent.
So where did he get it? Cristine is required to carry one in her backpack for the school bus. I will need to think of a new solution for keeping it out of harms way but still very quickly and easily accesible. ANy Ideas??????
