I once took care of a kid who came in by squad for a pretzel up his nose.  Yeah, it was a soggy mess that I pushed along the upper pat of the nose and got it out on his arrival. Sent the PA in to check it was gone and booted the family out.  EMS fo a prezel that got soggy!

My daughter stuck a button up hers one time.  Have the kid blow hard while you hold pressure on the unaffected side. It usually helps to get it out.  Doubt it would have helped yonger Monkey if an ENT had to go in after it.

enders_shadow - 2008-04-25 7:12 PM OK, Nibbs... My afternoon did NOT go as planned - after I told you about my cockles, my assistant found me because day care called her when they couldn't reach me. (I was teaching after all...) Anyway, Younger Monkey shoved a bead up her nose at daycare and they couldn't get her to blow it out. Blood flowed, no bead in sight. So I spent the end of the day in the ER first, and then at the ENT specialist so he could "tickle" the bead out of her nose...it was so far in, he had to go get an extra long tickler to pull it out. Ewww. No swim. No fun. But I did end up going to dinner with the Monkeys and Sugar Daddy - and ate too much and drank too much. Mmm. One margarita. One apple-tini. Buffalo chicken sandwich (with bacon & blue cheese) and french fries. MMMM.

I'm sorry your day didn't go as planned, but I'm glad they got the bead out. I have to admit, I did laugh when I read this.

I'm pretty sure I will laugh tomorrow. Today I'm still a little miffed.

Just think of how much fun it will be to tell the story when she's older.   

gotta admit - i'm laughing!

been there - you will laugh tomorrow - or for sure the next day

ewwwwww - gooey pretzles,

not sure I'm ever going to be able to eat a pretzle again!

Hi Kendra!

yep, you are right - seems to be a phase they all go through

for my dd it was a raisin up the nose 

for oldest ds it was swallowing a coin

for youngest ds - hmmmm, perhaps he paid attention to the stories about his older siblings! 

LOL

no, not yet - I figure I will go work out in the am - come back to the apartment and put together a list and then start the visits

i guess the list isn't available until the weekend - although I've started searching online 

My hubby does.  He really likes them.  

one would think, wouldn't one?

I do have an idea of the area - so I guess that is some sort of progress, right?

it really is beautiful out here 

Jen,

any word? 

If nothing else, I am finally getting my iPod reloaded this weekend!

that sounds like so much fun!  I used to play tennis - a looooong time ago

we will be waiting for the results!  

Not yet. 

Today was a pretty bad  day for eating, too.  Got really sick after lunch. 

they are VERY cool, that is what oldest DS got for Christmas this year - needless to say, he was thrilled  

bummer

well, take it easy this weekend! 

I think they're pretty comparable to the other running shoes.  His were about $90.  

Check out their website and see if they have a shoe fitter to give you suggestions to try tomorrow based on your support needs and build and stuff.  They're usually pretty good and that way you'll have an idea of where to start.
