so, life has been crazy! i know everyone says that and we say it all the time. but, it just never seems to slow down.
the week went pretty well, shaun started his masters program, i got a better handle on school and being mom. . .
and then came friday night. shaun and i were trying to do some homework, each of us, and taylor comes into the office with slime on his hand and face. then elizabeth comes in and says that taylor threw up. so, i went to get him cleaned up, and then he mentions that he swallowed a nail and it's stuck in his throat. WHAT?! we tried to get more info out of him. like what the nail was doing in his mouth, how big it was, that kind of stuff. we got the size out of him, nothing huge. it's one of those that comes with the curtain rods that you put in the hangers with. about an inch long, not terrible. we decided that i was going to take him in so that we could know what to do about it. as i was getting ready to leave, shannon woke up, and then shaun decided that we might as well all go. so we did-that was a full er room. they took an x-ray, and sure enough, there was a nail in his stomach. they let us see the x-ray, what a kid! the dr told us that it wasn't creating problems right now, and that the best thing to do was just wait for him to pass it. she said that if he complained on pain, that was a sign that things had changed, and we should take him in. that was 36 hours ago, the nail is gone now and no one would ever know that he was dumb enough to swallow it, let alone put it in his mouth.
thank heavens kids are so resilient!
oh, and the kids have broken my breast pump.
