Right Nostril Affair
Mood: tipsy
Listening to: neighbours party jiving on the back lawn
well, what an eventful day. I end up driving home to see if my husband is ok and then my son starts crying. He has lodged a small part of a toy in his right nostril.
I race home to try and take it out. My hubby is soo weak that he cant hold my son wriggling and the torch (shining up the nostril) at the same time.
I realise that I have to take him to the doctor. The Doctor tries to shine a special light up my son's nose. My son writhes with hysteria.
Doctor decides to send him to hospital.
Nurse tries to use a vacuum type machine to suckit out of his nose. Does not work.
Have to have him sedated.
So after 4 hours at hospital.... my son is sedated (oh he is only 6) and it still takes 2 doctors and 2 nurses and myself, to finally dislodge it.
It was totally horrible as it was in the shape of a bullet about 1/2 an inch long, but had turned sideways in his nose.
Well, I think I am more traumatised than he was. Now he is fast asleep. Thank heavens.
I know I shall laugh about it later, but.... jeeez I did not need that!!
I texted a friend to explain what was going on, as I had to meet her that afternoon and she replied
"Motherhood is not just a statement!"
So true.
And how fortunate your husband is to have you and your son behind him. It will give him tremendous strength in his battel. So many people are totally alone in this world, which makes coping so much harder. Stick with it Love.
