Cameron and I were out running some errands yesterday and we were making one last stop. I wasn't even going to stop, but we stopped at Kohl's to quickly look at the sheets because we were putting together his new bed. We were in there for 5 minutes tops and Cameron started sneezing like crazy and he was saying "Mommy, Mommy" in a help me voice. I grabbed a tissue so we could blow his nose from the sneezing. When I was kneeling down to help him, he couldn't stop rubbing his nose and I caught a glimpse of something blue in there. I said, "Did you put your lollipop in your nose", his response, "Yes Mommy"! What!
So I was telling him to blow as hard as he could because I couldn't get my finger in there. My heart starting racing! What would happen if it went further up? I called Lonnie, he wasn't much help. I called the on-call Dr. I was so happy that Dr. Megremis was on-call. That never happens! He told me not to worry, he'd be ok, but that we should go to urgent care. It was about 7:40. They closed at 8. He made a call to let them know we were on our way and to let us in because we would be a little late. Since we were close by the house, we stopped to pick up Lonnie. When we got there the Dr. put a light up to his nose and said, yep, there is definitely something in there. He said we had 2 options. We could go to the ER and they could put him to sleep to remove it or we could do something at the office that might seem a little crazy. Of course we wanted to avoid a visit to the ER. So, I held Cameron and pushed down on his "good" nostril, Lonnie blew forcefully in his mouth. And out came the lollipop STEM! I thought he had stuck a piece of lollipop up there, but it was actually a part of the stem!
What a relief that it was a quick fix. I couldn't believe that he actually stuck something in his nose! Never a dull moment!
