Just an average ordinary day???

A scary thing happened to us yesterday. We were out and about and a lady who has come out to church invited us into her home. She speaks very little English and the same is true of our Korean. She showed us pictures of her son's marriage and of her beautiful granddaughter (who by the way is a doll!) She had brought us out something to drink which was grape juice and aloe water that is delicious. My husband drank the aloe water and commented to me that something was VERY wrong with that drink. He said his mouth was burning, his throat was burning and on down into his belly. Something was really wrong here. We left a few minutes later and by the time we got to the car on the ground floor he was clenching his stomach. By the time we got home (four minute drive) he was vomiting in the parking lot. Scary! He told me to go back to the ladies house and get the bottles that contained the drinks because we were going to the hospital. How do you diplomatically say your husband is at home puking his guts out after you gave him something bad to drink???? Not an easy task! Thoughts of the granddaughter pouring chemicals or bleach into the cup and winding down my husband's gullet crossed my mind.

After two hours at the hospital my husband's stomach was medicated, neutralized and back to normal. The ladies' husband called later that day to find out if everything was okay feeling pretty horrible about the whole situation. Definitely something that doesn't happen everyday.
