Oh, wow! Yeah, sometimes people just make mistakes. A few years back, BH's distant cousin stayed with us, and after she left, I found what I thought was a Smartie on the floor: it had the bright color and what I thought was candy coating. It wasn't. It was a laxative. Small Child was still very much at the "put everything in my mouth!" stage, so I was very glad I found it before she did.
The oxycodone apparently made the girl deeply lethargic, but she was pronounced well and discharged from hospital the next day. They don't know how much she consumed. Apparently she told her grandmother the candy tasted bad and wanted to spit it out, but the grandmother thought she just got a color she didn't like and wouldn't let her! I'm sure she's feeling all kinds of guilt about that. I'd hope it was just one Oxycodone based on that. There were four more in the bag.
I know nothing about Darvocet, but six pills of darned near anything could be quite a problems for small children. As a parent, I really appreciate people like you taking the time and care to make sure that no stray ones have been missed!
