1/27/22 – I Swallowed A Quarter!

Today we took both Harry & Hank to school and you love letting kids pet them. You got to wear your jammies and bring your favorite stuffy (your cheetah)

After school we went home to drop the dogs off & you fell asleep in car on the way. I was so surprised!

You woke up and wanted to wear your illegal leopard outfit. I surprised you with a new pair of illegal leopard socks since you got a 100% on your sight words test last week and finished the Kindergarten sight words list! We met Chrissy and Olivia at Mi Pueblo for school spirit night.

We called Daddy on the way home. You told him “the good news is I’m going to the electric chair like you! I ate my entire quesadilla and all my smiley fries. There wasn’t even a speck left!”

We put the finishing touches on your timeline project since it is due tomorrow. Then we climbed in bed. We were trying to read, but Hank was playing and being crazy. You asked me to take him to the crate so I did. When I took came back, you had a quarter in your mouth which I didn’t know. You were crying and telling me you swallowed it by accident. I asked you why you had a quarter in your mouth and you said “because it was dirty and I needed to clean it!” OMG I about died. I didn’t know what to do so I immediately called Aunt Deb & Uncle Dali. We had to go to the ER to get an X-Ray. You vomited in the car in the parking lot which really scared me and upset you. I had to change you out of your jammies and put you in the extra clothes from the car. SMH was busy and the wait was forever so you kept asking to leave. We left and went to Doctor’s Hospital. There was no wait and everyone was so nice. We were in and out of there in a little more than an hour. The staff made you fell so comfortable and you weren’t scared. The X-Ray tech showed you the image and the Dr. advised the quarter was already in your small intestine so it was past anywhere dangerous. Aunt Deb, Uncle Dali and Ms. Sandy were staying in touch by text to make sure you were doing ok. They took your X-Ray right away then we had to wait to be discharged. They brought you a warm blanket and you fell asleep in my arms. You looked so precious. I was so scared earlier and so relieved to know you were ok. We got home around midnight and you wanted to snuggle with Hank. It took a little while for us both to fall asleep. I suspect I will never have to tell you not to put something in your mouth again!

I love you so much!
