A little project: Operation Kid Medications

Just a little evening project, that came about because of another project.  In the process of painting the upstairs hallway, we bought a Craigslist Dresser to replace the storage cabinet we had up there, meaning I had to do a little re-arranging in the hall closet.  And decided that I wanted to/needed to clear the stash of kids medications, nebulizers, etc. out of there.  Usually when the kids are sick we spend time downstairs anyways & all the meds & supplies end up all over the kitchen counter (which really is so not a safe thing to do, I know!)  I spent like $5 buying one new container to store our 3 nebulizers, otherwise I didn't spend anything.  Love free little projects :)  I have a kid proof door lock on that upstairs closet door because the meds were there, but with the hallway re-do project, the towel hamper ended up in that closet, so I didn't really want it to be locked.  Hence my initial motivation to get those meds out.  Infact, now I want a different door knob for that closet door.  The kids can't open the turn ones very well & I want them to be able to clean up after themselves so it needs a lever type handle (like all the other doors in the hallway).

After I looked at these pictures I realized I should have put shelf liner down too, will get to that later.  I cut pieces of adhesive shelf liner that I already had & used those to put labels on all the bins.  Just wrote on it with a Sharpie.

 Green baskets on the right hold extra nebulizer pieces & supplies.  Baskets on the left hold different things, Allergy meds, Inhalers, Tylenol/Motrin, etc.  All the extras.

 This container is the only thing I bought. It holds all our nebulizers.

 And fits in sideways right in front of the baskets with the extra pieces.

 Clipped to the door by the nebulizer container is the Asthma Action Plan we got from the respiratory doctors office for Olivia.  With that said... I don't know if we'll go back there this fall?  We didn't give her any steroids last winter.  And really we don't give her any Albuterol outside of sicknesses.  And we do the boys just as much with sickness as we do her anymore.  So I feel like if we went, all 3 kids should go as their respiratory status is all pretty equal as of late.  She hasn't really had a respiratory sickness lately where she has been her wheezy-asthma looking-self, so maybe we've just been lucky or maybe she is actually trying to grow out of this?  I'm not sure what they would tell us other than, they are post-preemies trying to grow out of this, we just have to wait & see.  We'll see how this winter goes & talk to Dr. Fran at their 4 year well check & see what he thinks.

 On the other door is a paper with doses per each kid for the basic stuff like Motrin, Tylenol & Benadryl.

 Sitting in front of those baskets on the left with all the extra medications is a basket with the open bottles of Motrin, Tylenol, Zyrtec, some measuring cups & syringes & Logan's Miralax (we're gonna get this poop thing yet I swear!!)

All tucked away up above the fridge, out of reach of little hands.  I think I will put a child proof door lock thing on it yet anyways.  

The bandaids & such are still up in the hall closet, as its usually bedtime when they discover an itty bitty scratch that desperately NEEDS a bandaid.  I think I'll put together a little first aid kit with stuff up there eventually too.  {And maybe I ought to throw a box of bandaids in the bin downstairs too now that I think about it}

Any bets on how long it stays neat & organized??!!
