FARGO -- The 1-year-old Hitterdal, Minn., boy hospitalized last month after eating part of a Tide Pod laundry detergent packet left Sanford Children's Hospital in Fargo on Thursday morning.
On Sept. 28, Alex Rohde put one of the brightly colored, quick-dissolving pods in his mouth and became violently ill. He was taken by LifeFlight to Sanford, where he was on a ventilator in the pediatric intensive care unit for nearly a week.
Alex is doing well, but he lost some strength and mobility while hospitalized.
He headed home to Hitterdal, where he lives with his mother, Michelle Klienschmidt, father, Tom Rohde, and his siblings.
