Oh sheesh. In Hollace’s 6 years, this is the first time we had to go to the ER with her.
Goofy kid, for some reason she can’t explain, stuck a pea size bit of cotton up her nose. (I thought they get over that urge to stick stuff up their nose by 3 or 4)
She came to me all upset and panicky after she was trying to get it out. I couldn’t see it and her nose was hurting her so after a call to the 24 hour nurse, we headed out to the ER. It was 9:30pm
I have never been in an ER (well ok, I gave birth in one but didn’t really pay attention to my surroundings) and I was expecting the worst, you know like TV’s ER and hours of waiting.
The ER was very nice and quiet. I told Hollace to bring her Leapster and all these little Hispanic kids swarmed her to see what she was doing.
Didn’t have to wait long. I guess this piece of cotton wasn’t lodged up high like I feared, it was at the tip but the doctor had a real hard time getting that sucker out.
We were out of there within an hour.
