Removed Foriegn Object

Cole had to have surgery to remove the polly pocket shoe out of his nose. The ER doctor couldn't get it out and the X-rays showed nothing there. But after two weeks of continual discharge, no treasure in his diapers, and mother's intuition...
I knew it was still up his nose.

Surgery went way better than last time getting his tubes in. They let me come in while he was still waking up and so I got to hold him all wrapped up in a blanket while he was woke up.  Really quick surgery too. The doctor said it was way lodged up there, and no way it was coming out on its own.

Here's what the ENT doctor gave me before I went in to see Cole.


As you can see it is really tiny. Smaller than a penny. 
Please let this be the last time for surgery for this little guy...
at least for a long time!

I'm so glad that can be off your mind now. Poor little guy, he sure is cute in that little gown and the socks and soccor wrist band. I'm glad they let you hold him when we was waking up, sooo much better huh!!!

Oh my goodness! Crazy! Poor little guy. I'm glad you went with your intuition. It'll be quite the story for latter on though.
