So how mad should I be?

I'm surprised more people aren't horrified that she gave her child benadryl. Without her actually being sick or rashy, some consider this a reportable form of child abuse. I think it's completely unacceptable to drug your children to sleep. I also consider it to be neglect that she removes light bulbs making it impossible to care for a young child for the convenience of her not wanting to wake up if qnev slips the switch.

not when one parent is endangering the child and being negligent or abusive.
Her sister was watching Q and was asleep in the next room? I would have woke that bitch up. Fuck tiptoeing around trying to find a circuit breaker. I would have pounded on her door until she got up and turned the lights on/put bulbs in.
I think calling the police so there could be an official documentation of the event might have been a good idea. Though my hesitation would be they might get social services involved and they might take Q away from both of you for a little while. That would be bad for you.
What about getting help from your family as far as getting an attorney for custody?

She has a VERY mild rash. She gave her baby benadryl, per the doc's advice. She finally called an hour ago to see how she's doing and I asked her wtf. She said she gave her the benadryl on an empty stomach, so it might as well have been a double dose. I told her the lights should be working and she disagreed. The thing that bugs me the most is that she doesn't even seem almost concerned or sorry it happened. If Q is even almost uncomfortable from something completely unrelated to anything I've done I feel almost as bad as if I would have directly caused the discomfort. All she could say was she's not a bad mom like I said she was and it wasn't her fault.
What a douche.
I would have said, "We'll let the courts decide that."
LOL! Man, I would have her killed. There's a desert near you, ya know?

My grandmother is the only one that really would have the $$ to do something like that and she won't even loan some cash to the grandkids if they need a laptop for school. I was talking to a friend at the gym today and he said I may not even need an attorney as long as everything is accurate, and it is. My only worry is that I could get a mormon pro-mom judge that will fuck me no matter what.
Your ex, and her sister, are bitches. Poor little girl, at least she's got you. I would definitely log all this and present to the appropriate authorities. You don't give a child medicine (OTC or otherwise) without proper supervision.
You may believe she needs both parents, but that certainly isn't true when one is as neglectful as your ex. Believe me, as a child raised by a single mother, it can be done, and done well.
