So One ER Visit Later

It has been 5 glorious years of James Micheal not having any major catastrophes that we have had to go to the ER, until...today. Our James Micheal swallowed a magnet at 1:30 in the afternoon. I was just getting ready to clean the bathroom, Evan was down for a nap, and James Micheal was getting ready to watch a movie. He came crying into the room saying he swallowed a rock and that the doctors were going to have to cut him open. I called James, luckily he was heading home from work. I woke up Evan and took him and James to the ER. James got to the ER when I did, so he took over and I went to go pick up Makayla from school.

After I picked up Makayla, I had to go to my ultrasound for Sadie, so Makayla came with me. Sadie is doing well and is huge. I am going to be induced December 10th if I don't have her till then...which I doubt, I always go early.

Back to James Micheal, I got back from my appointment and they had to do an X-ray to see if the magnet had moved far enough down for him to pass it and to make sure there was only one in there. I stayed and James took the other two home for dinner. I couldn't go into the X-ray with him because of the baby in my belly, but he was a champ and didn't cry once.

Luckily the magnet is far enough down that he can pass it normally, I just get the joy of making sure it passes. YUCK!! Oh the joys of being a mom. Here is his X-ray!! My poor little dude, at least he learned his lesson and got a cheeseburger for being such a good sport.
