Kicked in the Nose

Not really kicked ...KIX actually. Corbin stuck a piece of Kix cereal UP his nose...and it got stuck! He is his father's boy! Jason has a history of sticking Legos up his nose.

When Jason called to tell me about it I could hear Corbin crying in the background. It was driving him absolutely NUTS! Poor kid!

Jason, with the use of a flashlight and tweezers, attempted to retrieve the cereal. he got bits and pieces of it, but he couldn't get it all.

I asked him to call the pediatrician (I was at work when it all went down). I begged him to not make light of it. Try to be serious on the phone (he was cracking jokes all over the place when we talked: It's nuthin' to get all soggy about!). He called me back and said, "I was serious - but they were laughing!" He said the receptionist suggested that we just add milk. *lol*

So the nurse suggested that we bring him in so they can be sure to get it all out. If there was any debris left in there it could get infected. So we set an appt for 3:00 in the afternoon - that was the soonest they could get us in. Good thing it wasn't an emergency, huh? Well, by 3:00 the cereal was gone. The Dr. did a very thorough search of both nostrils and found nothing *lol* We're guessing it got soggy and slid down the back of his throat *ack*yuck*ewww*

He was such a good little patient though. He layed across my lap with his arms folded while the doctor shoved her otoscope up his nose. I think he found it amusing.

He was later caught trying to stick Jenalyn's bead bracelet up his nose. *sigh* Heaven help him!
