Grandma needs a new set of nerves for Christmas


You won't believe this. Or you might believe this. We spent a few hours in ER last night with our grandson. Oh ya, you got nothin' on me Jenny :)! It happened so fast. The little guy was sitting on the hearth quietly swinging his feet watching grandpa set up his fisher price little people aka "guys" on the table right in front of the fireplace, grandma was checking her email. Not the right time in hindsight. He was holding a spoon from Wendy's when we noticed a piece missing out of the spoon part! Couldn't find it anywhere. Nothing.




After a few paniced moments, off we were to ER. We had to err on the side of caution. They took us right way, took an x-ray and nothing showed up. They said sometimes plastic doesn't show up. GREAT! I like to hear things like "yes we see it, it will pass" or "no nothing is there"! So it's poop patrol today. The Dr. even said doing poop patrol was unnecessary. She doesn't know who she is talking to. I need to know.




The missing piece was triangular about 1/4 inch in length and width. We heard nothing. He didn't choke or gag. So where the missing piece is has yet to be discovered.




Grandma's Christmas List




1. Set of new nerves




2. Eyes all around her head




3. Super sonic ears




4. More sense

My sister had something like that happen with some little toy piece. Her daughter said she put it up her nose! So - off to ER where they couldn't find it and it was never seen again. It's been a few yars and my niece is still okay! Good luck with that poop patrol!
