The orange sequins...

Shortly after baths tonight Lucy crawled on David's lap and told him that her eye hurt. We got her a towel and a few minutes later she was sneezing and saying her nose hurt. We laid her down, looked in her nose with a flashlight and saw something. We tried to get it out with tweezers, but it moved further up her nose. Off to the hospital...

I was going to just take Lucy, but Eleanor really wanted to go. So, we made it a family trip.

Once at the hospital they started asking us questions.
How long has it been in there? Not sure - a few hours
What is is? Not sure - she says it is a sparkly????
I felt like a horrible mother. I wanted to scream. I have a clean home and small objects are not just lying around. I have no clue what it is or where she got it from. Even now, seeing what it is, I still have no clue.

Here is Miss Lucy on the hospital bed waiting for the doctor.
At first they tried to get it out by closing her other nostril and having me blow in her mouth. That did not work, so they had to wrap her in the sheets and use some tool to get it out. She did not scream, cry, kick or even move. She was amazingly calm and only when it was pulled out said, "All done?" They all fell in love with her and took her to go pick out stickers and a sucker.

Here is the large orange sequins that Miss Lucy put in her nose tonight. They were all surprised at the size and that she was not crying and in more pain. It is a large object for a 2 year old nose!
Our Lucy is one tough girl!
