Wow what a few weeks!

Well Abigail decided to put a bead up her nose, thank heavens it came out quite easily. Then within about a week she decided to put a rock up her nose at day care. When I got the call I was worried that one of the girls were sick and today was just not a good day to leave work, so when I was told she had a rock up her nose I busted out laughing, loud enough Abigail heard me thru the phone and she started giggling. I was thinking this would be like a 1 hr max trip to urgent care and back to daycare/work I would go. Boy was I wrong. First I attempted to take care of the rock myself; one bloody nose and making it much worse we were at urgent care, Andrew, me, and Abigail. They said I had to go to the emergency room they could not help me, back in the car we go, now Abigail hates shoes and socks so I had a diaper bag, car seat carrier with baby, and was carrying Abigail (after twins shouldn't be too hard right!) Off to the emergency room we go. I was not happy because now I knew it would be a long day and I hadn't even gotten the bill from Andrew's birth and here we are back in the hospital. I called Nate bawling because I just couldn't handle anymore, Andrew was fussy/hungry, Abigail was running around like a wild women and even put Nate's keys up her other nostril when he got there to help me. The PA strapped Abigail to this board to hold her still so they could get the rock out (it was up there a bit), after MANY failed attempts they called the Dr in. He was able to get it out, but Abigail was screaming and it fell in her mouth and she started to choke so the DR and PA flipped her over to try and get it out and Abigail decided to swallow it!!!!!! Well, the rock as out, but now we had to have an X-Ray to make sure it wasn't in her lungs/airway (mind you she was screaming at the top of her lungs) but protocol is better safe than sorry. All I heard was my bill going up again and my wait getting longer and longer! Her airway was clear and they think they saw it in her stomach so now we had to go home and feed her lots of fiber to help her pass the rock. Lots of fiber = lots of diarrhea for me x 2. The girls have to have what each other has and Abigail is the harder of the two to give diarrhea too. Yeah for me the rock passed the next morning just in time for her to find a pepper corn and put that up her nose the same day. Guess we didn't learn our lesson.
