The ER

The full story: if my blurb on FB wasn't enough (and Kevin may have to fill in some details later)
So last night Camilla sticks two beads up her nose. She comes to me crying saying she has a booger. So I get one of the beads out and ask her if that is better. She points to the other nostril and says "booger." I can't even see this one. So after trying ourselves to get it out with no success, we decide to take her to an insta care. Kevin walks across the street to one to find it closed at 5. (BTW, what kind of insta care closes at 5, that is sooooo lame!)
So Kev then loads her up in the car and takes her to the ER. They wait for two hours before they can get in. They try to find the bead and can't. By this time her nose is so swollen from all the proding. So they spray up her nose with something to reduce the swelling and come and check 25 minutes later. They check again and no bead.
So the Dr. says it either came out on its own, she swallowed it or it is still up there and she will begin to get a terrible sinus infection within the next few days. We are all hoping that it is the first two! :)
Three hours after leaving for the ER, Kevin and Camilla get home. Whew! What an eventful night.
Come to find out, it is probably my fault. Kevin never put anything up his nose, I remember getting 6 peas up my nose!

Yikes! No fun, but I'm glad it's nothing too serious (broken bones, etc.). I remember sticking a bead in my ear when I was 10. My mom would not let me get my ears pierced so I thought of gluing beads to my earlobs...one of them slipped and got into my ear...so we had to go to the ER and since I was screaming bloody murder, they had to put me under to get it out! So embarrassing! When I woke up, I found out that the girl in the room next door had stuck pieces of erasers in her nostrils and had to go through the same procedure.

That IS lame that an insta care closes at 5! Talk about a crazy night! Hope that bead comes out without too much trouble!!

So scary! Kids get themselves into the worst situations...but, as you did the same thing, I guess we have all been there, done that! I am so glad she is ok, keep us posted!
