Last Friday morning I thought I was going to take our first trip to the ER. At breakfast as I was cleaning up, I heard Chancery saying, “I can’t get it out! I can’t get the raisin out of my nose!”
At first I thought she was just playing around, since she was holding a raisin up to her nose, but then she said, “There is another one already in there!”
I couldn’t see one when I looked, but I could feel a slight bulge in her nose. It was a school day for Asher, so we went to brush our teeth, & I figured I’d better have another look under the lights in the washroom. I laid her down on the counter & took the tweezers out, just in case I was able to see the raisin. By that time Chancery had sneezed a few times & it must have been just enough to move the raisin down a bit, so when I peeked, I could just see a little of it.
Thankfully I was able to remove the raisin quite easily, & now I can say that I am an expert at foreign object retrieval from the nasal cavity. I never had this problem with Asher… I’m just wondering what other predicaments Chancery’s going to get herself into!
wow! Glad it all worked (its way) out! :)
ReplyDeleteJust in case this ever happens again ....
ReplyDeleteBen stuck a LiteBrite peg up his nose once. It was so far up there I couldn't see it. I took him to the ER and all the doctor did was lay him on the bed, pinch his non-blocked nostril shut, and had me blow into his mouth. 2 blows, and that LiteBrite peg shot right out.
I thought that was an interesting trick.
Congratulations, you crossed another hurdle of parenthood.....
