I am an angler who cannot go on a 12 hour fishing trip. I have my 2 year old daughter with me on 99% of my trips. I was complaining about that yesterday to my wife. At work today I got a frantic call from my wife that my daughter had taken a couple of pills and needed to go to the ER. Frantically driving home with my hazzards on and weaving in and out of traffic between Plano and SW Dallas I had a realization that without my lil one I could never fish again. It wouldn't be the same. She is the reason I started carp fishing because she now laughs at the big "fishies" Thank god she is ok and after we hit childrens she actually took daddy to the "ickies" she tried to eat. she had hid them behind her toybox. 2 year minds who can figure them out. But on the brighter side on my next day off I am taking her to ghostie and hopefully she will be amazed at the big "fishies" I just thank god she is asleep in her bedroom safe and warm.

glad to hear shes ok and I know how you felt.... I have 4 daughters and 1 son. they r my life and id do anything for them!!!

wow, i was getting worried when i first started reading your post. Glad it worked out and family always comes first

Im glad she is ok, thats a call all parents dread to get. If it was me in that situation as soon as i got home my main concern would be finding out where she got the pills from and how she got to the pills not to mention how she got the pill bottle open. Two year olds keep you on your toes and if you take your eyes off of them for one second thats all it takes for them to get them selves in to trouble. Once again glad she is ok, and when two get some big fishies out of ghostie be sure to post pics we love to see them!

It was a rare situation. My wife god love her had her last wisdom tooth yanked yesterday and used the diaper bag as a purse. she forgot she put the pills in the diaper bag and left it in lil butts room. When she remembered she went in to get the pills and Maddy had grabbed them already. She couldn't find the darvocette and paniced I cannot blame her. But thank god everything worked out. Now I am debating on putting a hair rig on my daughters barbie fishing pole. LOL

Wow, glad everything worked out alright

wow .glads she is ok

Glad everything is ok

Good to hear she's well. We often joke about Fishing being most important, but in reality we know that it pales in comparison to where our families sit on the List.

Kids always come first glad she is ok right now
Maybe off topic but I have saved a girl after she was raped one time..she was 13yrs old and was abused for more then 4hrs by that guy..she menage to escape by jumping in the lake and swim towards me
I got her out and took her into the car to the police
I did not even think twice about the expensive gear i left on the bank
That put my fishing in perpective to

I know exactly where you are coming from bart.Man i have 4 kids of my own and i take them fishing with me everywhere man.I wouldnt know what to do without them man.I'm glad that shes ok.

Wow, that is intense man. Horrible what she must have gone through, but good on you for helping out!

Thanks the the posting Bart. I'm right with you; people come first. Leo, my hats off to you.

My youngest (two boys, two step-daughters) is now a freshman in college (gig 'em Ags!) but I remember many scary incidents while they were younger. It doesn't get any easier as they get older, either. The trials and blessings of parenthood!

Yeah Bart I have twin 3 yr old daughters myself, I get worried when I go on a long fishing trip, I am glad you lil one is fine.
