Well Michael finally did it. He consumed a foreign object. What foreign object did he eat you may be asking, well he ate a bolt, yes I said it a BOLT!. And when I tried getting it our of his mouth that boy swallowed it with one big gulp. So of course I start freaking out. I called his doctor and they said take him to the emergency room. So I take him. When I get there I say in a panicked voice "My son just ate a bolt or something". And I get this look like 'really'. Anyways so we get put in a room and a nurse comes in and takes the information. Then I get told that the doctor will be right in. 30 freaking minutes later the doctor waltzes in says he is fine it happens quite often but someone will come and get us for an X ray. Michael is getting restless since we are in a tiny room with nothing to do. Finally someone comes in and takes us for the X ray. Well they confirmed my fear. There is a bolt sitting in his intestines. And here the two nurses are laughing. Apparently they ate foreign objects when they were little and turned out just fine. At least they thought they turned out just fine. I just don't think that it should be a common thing for kids to eat bolts. After that we were sent back to our room. I was letting Michael play outside the door since he was tired of being in the little space. Well we got yelled out to go back to our room. Why I do not know because the ER was completely empty. So the doctor looks at the X ray and says "oh i think it will pass but we are going to ask "blank" doctor for his opinion. So than I wait another 30 minutes. Finally I get news that he will just pass it through and I should be watching for the next few days. So here I am having to pick through my two year old sons poop looking for a stupid bolt. Let me just say that What to Expect The Toddler Years does not have anything on consuming foreign objects until page 681. Excuse me but between Michael, Adam, and now the new Puppy B ( yes I am crazy) I haven't gotten that far in the book. I am too busy picking up objects that are potential choking hazards. Apparently I missed one!
