Hospital





So almost a week ago Kolby was down stairs screaming and I was upstairs getting ready for the day but I thought he was playing, He likes to yell and scream when he watches certain shows. Well he kept getting louder so I ran downstairs and what do I see, a mother's worst nightmare, Kolby covered in blood and his hand in his mouth. So I am thinking he bit himself and made himself bleed. So he wouldn't calm down or tell me what happened til all the blood was cleaned up...finally when it was all cleaned up I asked him what had happened...his reply "I stuck a LEGO up my nose" I said Kolby why would you do that..."Because it itched" so I asked what color the lego was and he told me green, so I grabbed the flashlight and started to look for a little lego...Didn't see any lego so I called the Doctor's office and they told me it probably isn't up there if he doesn't complain about it. While all of this was happening DJ was on his way to St.George for a work conference so he came home Friday night and Kolby had gotten a cold that kept getting worse, So DJ heard him last night having a hard time breathing through his nose, so he got a little tiny flashlight and shined it up there and sure enough...LEGO (CLEAR) is still in his nose!! I couldn't believe it!! That is what I woke up to this morning at 6:30 am was DJ telling me that the lego was still up there!! So we tried to get it out with Kolby fighting us with tweezers but it just wouldn't budge it was lodged in there really good! So we told him he had to go to the Dr's and he was really scared! so finally we talked him into going to the hospital if his Grandma "Piddle" came with us. So we waited for Grandma "piddle" DJ's mom to get to our house so we could head out and get that Lego out of his nose. He of course was calm up until the Doctor called his name and then the alligator tears started flowing. So he just checked his height, weight, temperature and then we had to go back to the waiting area. He was fine again until we had to go to the room where they were going to take the Lego out. He kept saying "Mom lets go let's leave, lets get out of here" (There were even cartoons on the T.V.). I wish that would of made it all better "Escaping" so we had a couple doctors come tell us a couple of the procedures they would have to try to get it out, if not they would have to put him under an antistetic. The options were try to get it out with very LONG tweezers or a catheter with a balloon on the end of it to expand and then pull it out, The doctor said that works about 98% of the time. So a half hour later they were ready to pull it out. It took 4 adults to hold down Kolby. DJ, Doctor, another doctor and nurse and I holding his head, arms, thighs and feet still. It was the hardest when he was all strapped down and cried for help, looked straight in DJ's eyes and said "Daddy help me" in his alligator tear voice. We both cried because we had to do what was best for him even though we knew it would hurt! So after about 2 minutes (long) of torture the lego came out!! Yeah He was so happy to have that out of his nose!! So all better now and hopefully he learned his lesson!
