My Nerves, are Frayed

I just got home, from the ER.

Conor and Jessi, called, in a panic.

Cate had bit off, a piece of a straw...and stuck it up her nose.

Would she let us, get it out?

Of course not.

We went to an urgent care, first. Nothing doing. Take her to the hospital ER.

Which, we did.

And, they got it out. And gave Cate an ice pop. (As the rest of us were taking the big one!) How about, a shot, for us?biggrin)

Holy moly....I need a drink!

All is well. Cate is fine.

Thanks for letting me vent.smile

Oh my! So happy she got it out and a icepop to make it all better. My brother when he was 3 did something similar, my dad was babysitting him and being the 50’s my brother was wearing his cowboy hat shoving the cork up his nose while watching t.v., my dad had to take him to the emergency room so the doctors could retrieve the cork and gave my dad a good humored ribbing.

Glad she’s ok

All kids do something like this.

For a cousin, it was a red hot cinnamon candy.

Glad she's ok.

Y'all are gonna laugh about this one day.

Oh no! I’m glad everything turned out ok.

It's a right of passage to stick objects up the nose.

I once babysat a little girl who stuck green M&Ms up her nose and they became frightened. She started crying and of course her snot was all green melted candy.

Thanks guys!

With Mere, it was Tiny Tarts.

(I don't think they make those anymore.)

Hopefully, Cate learned her lesson. 

One can only hope.wink

Hahahaha yes, it is a right of passage; although, I just don't get the attraction of putting something in your nose that doesn't belong there. lol All kids do it though.

Fingers crossed!

A friend's son put legos up there. She said the blood was horrendous. Fortunately, my boys weren't into sticking things into their orifices.

Ice pops or Popsicles are the cure-all when they are young!

My DS stuck a pencil eraser up his nose. Nurse had to dig it out. The Baby Boy swallowed a Lego. When I was two I stuck a piece of Bazooka bubble gum up my sisters nose all the way to the bridge. My mom had to have the doctor remove it because it was lodged in their so deep. All kids do this stuff. It really is a rite of passage.

I don't remember sticking anything in my nose. I just put things in my mouth.

Apparently, when I was about 2, I ate a pepper from a plant while we were in the garden. I have been told I was drinking out of the wash tub before anyone figured it out.

Caitlyn was doing a magic trick around age 3, she swallowed a quarter. I was right there, I was watching. She was shocked and scared. She showed me a nickel, turns out it was a quarter. She had to have it removed 3 days later.

My cousins and I ate a bottle of baby aspirin. Had our stomachs pumped.

I was called at work because Aaron found a pill in the floor and swallowed it. Mom took him to the ER. By the time I got there, he had been given charcoal to naturalize it.

The baby is seven months now and crawling. Before I could stop him today he plucked a roly poly up off the ground and ate it. I told his mom about it. She just laughed and said it will come out the other end.

DS, to my knowledge, never stuck anything up his nose. He preferred sticking everything in his mouth. The worst thing he did was try (and succeed a couple of times) to stick stuff in the outlets. Thankfully, he never got shocked since he stuck to rubber and plastic objects. He knew how to remove the outlet covers so those were rendered useless. I think I have a pic of his rubber lizard hanging from the outlet by its tail.

Oh my, FWM. Welcome to the traumatized grandparent club.
Glad all is well!
We have a frequent flier club member (ER) as well. Kids will be kids.🤷🏼

And, now...we wait for the bill. (Conor and Jessi, that is.)wink

Mere's tiny tarts up the nose, cost us $285, which was a lot of money, back in 1993.

Wayne walked out with Mere, and yelled, "Call the cops...we've been robbed!"biggrin

I'm sure, Conor's health insurance, will cover part of it.

Waiting for the other "shoe to drop".

Sometimes, you just have to laugh!wink

"call the cops... we've been robbed". That's exactly how it is for any visit to the ER / hospital.
