It is a wonder that we never wound up in the doctor's office with something we couldn't retrieve. Little rocks were common, but the weirdest was this bright orange foam star sticker. How that gargantuan-by-comparison foam sticker fit up his tiny nostril I will never know, but I got lucky and managed to fish it out. I don't even remember what worked now that I think back, but thank goodness I was able to get it out. <br /><br />Sigh.

I get a phone call at work (I work in the hospital). "Charlie shoved a cheese puff up his nose, what should I do?" I had him bring the boy to the ER so the doctor could help. After many tries, we had to be referred to the ENT who had to sedate him to remove the "vegetable matter" which was jammed so far up there we had no idea what it even was anymore.

And the gunk was turning green and kind of bloody, and his breath smelled horrible. Convinced he had a sinus infection, my husband took him to the doctor. They came home to report that the doctor had pulled, out of our son's nose, a huge, bloody length of cotton wadding. Said cotton wadding had come out of a stuffed animal, apparently. My husband said it made the most hideous scraping sound while it was being pulled out. And it was bloody and gunky and disgusting.<br /><br />Upon questioning, my son said that he had put the stuffing up his nose because he 'wanted to be like a stuffed animal.' We had a long, serious talk about how God made him a small boy, not a stuffed animal and how you never, ever, EVER put anything up your nose.Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-31578883377344938892012-02-14T11:22:32.067-05:002012-02-14T11:22:32.067-05:00I freaked out when my first born stuck a Kix cerea...I freaked out when my first born stuck a Kix cereal up his nose, and then I realized I could just tell him to blow and it came right out.
