Preventing Kids From Getting Into 'Child-Resistant' Medicine Bottles
A family goes through a terrible ordeal -- one that could have been prevented.
Dec. 24, 2009— -- It is the kind of reunion every military family hopes for: one filled with hugs, joy, and relief at coming home.
It's the kind of homecoming Air Force Capt. Kevin Lombardo wishes he'd had four years ago.
The day after Christmas that year, Lombardo was still in Baghdad. His wife Billie was home with their children. Their 3-year-old twins managed to open a child-resistant bottle of prescription medication. Kevin Jr. and Chloe swallowed the pills inside.
"I had no idea how they could have gotten that," Billie said, crying." It was a blur."
Kevin Jr. pulled out of a coma days later. His sister Chloe didn't make it.
"Even four years later, it's still hard," Billie said.
