Because it’s raining and we only have 10,000 toys to play with Kelli was bored. So she stuck a pony bead up her nose.
So I call the
pediatrician, they tell me to call an ear, nose and throat
doctor.
pediatrician, they tell me to call an ear, nose and throat
doctor.
So I call the ENT
and they tell me go to the ER before she aspirates it into her
lungs.
So I call a friend
who flies over to watch the kids and I race to the ER.
I fill out a bunch
of papers.
A doctor says to me
"she has a bead up her nose" when he looks up there.
I refrain from
hitting the doctor.
The doctor is not
challenged and sends a PA over.
The PA had me put my
mouth over Kelli’s making a seal, hold the open nostril and blow. As hard as I
can.
The bead and the
contents of her nose shoot out and land in my hair.
This is
unpleasant.
Kelli thinks this is
hilarious.
I am asked for
insurance information on the way out.
I point out that I was the one who
actually got the bead out of the nose and will they forward me the
check.
Hospital billing
staff has no sense of humor.
Kelli asks for a
treat on the way home because she had to go to the hospital.
Kelli is
disappointed in mummy’s response.
Mummy needs a glass
of wine.
Ruth Tucker says
Oh my goodness! That must have been so frustrating. You have a great sense of humor.
Meredith says
Oh Mary Ellen, wish I could personally deliver that glass of wine, then we’d have good laugh at the obnoxious DR!! Hope your evening is better! Blessings!
Maryan says
I am finding this hysterical like Kelli!! Hope you got your glass of wine!!
Michele Q. says
Oh Mary Ellen you have no idea how many times I have been through the same kind of thing!
WHY do they have to stick things up their noses??
Raising my glass (of iced tea) to you my dear!
Alice Gunther says
So sorry this happened to you and sweet little Kelli!
But, crying I am laughing so hard at your account. I particularly love “will they please forward me a check.” I can just picture you saying this and feel as if I was there!
You are too funny!
Theresa says
Good grief! How awful and yet hilarious!
JennGM says
I’m glad it was nothing serious, but what a pain! And I agree…why should you have to pay?
I had a less exciting incident when ds put something in his ear. After calling his ped, rushing to the office, it fell out while sitting in the waiting room.
