OH NUTS!!!

Litteraly... Well screws, not nuts but it's the same thing!

Today was just one of those days where I didn't feel so well and I would have been happy with staying in bed all day. Come to find out.. I should have!
Logan and I went outside to play and I started to do yard work. Recently he has become very fond of the little rocks/pebbles in our driveway. So fond, that he likes to put them in his mouth. So as I was sweeping he came up to me with a mouth full of rocks, I said "yucky" and then is spit them out and started saying "eegh-ucky" so I proceeded to spray off the patio and sidewalk. When I was done I went to turn the water off and Logan had a mouth full of something.. Well that something was screws! Not rocks! I tried to grab them out of his mouth as quick as possible when he chocked, gaged, and THEN swallowed! Yes he swallowed a screw! I called my dad first. Now if my dad says I should call the doctor, than I better call. So after talking to the ER and to my boss at work, they both suggested I take him to get an x-ray to see where this thing was. On the way there I called Kalin so she could make me laugh about the situation and also told her I was afraid that they would find more things than a screw in this kids stomach, because lets be real... who knows what he gets into through out the day!
We arrive at the ER and got checked in and the promptly had a x-ray taken and then waited.
To make this already long story shorter..... The screw had traveled past his diaphragm which put him in the OK zone. It was small enough (1/4 - 1/2) not to open him up and take it out. Now the real fun begins.... Watching his poop! Ha.
