Moe came into our room around 7 am today, and said "stuck, help." I looked at him and immediately saw a green thing in his nose...He then pushed it up his nostril. Despite our best efforts, we could not get it out. We took him to his pediatrician who, with the help of three nurses holding him down, was able to finally get out the crayon. First they had me blow in his mouth while they closed the empty nostril....I did this 4-5 times, and the crayon became dislodged. Then they were able to get it out with a little hook. It was lime green and about 1/3 the length of a crayon! His doctor did say that once a kid goes through something like this they almost never repeat it...so, fingers crossed.
I am going to go put up the crayons...just in case....

Did I tell you about "ouch, this REALLY hurts, Mom."?? and I could tell Mary was in pain. I asked what hurt.....the ROCK up her nose. Well, it was dried up play-doh. I got it out thank goodness. And there's also been mac and cheese up her nose, a pea and a bean. So, I guess she hasn't learned her lesson yet.
yeah, i told you about the bead up my nose....but thank goodness i've told my kids the story so much that they're afraid to put anything even remotely close to their nose!
so glad lil moe is ok! and i'll think of him every time i use a lime green crayon. :)
love ya!
This reminds me of the time we thought our son had put a marble up his nose....turned out it wasnt...altho both his Dad & me almost climbed inside his nostril trying to get it out....That trick with blowing in Moe's mouth was ingenious!.....fingers crossed!!
