A Raisin to Boot!

So we had a visit to the ER...nothing for his liver mind you but the classic childhood curiosity of sticking things in and up noses, and ears. All of hte sudden Ian has figured out his body has these neat little "hiding" places.

On Saturday night Ian shoved a raisin up his nose. We have asked him why and I don't know if we were expecting a full confession or for Ian to tell us this elaborate hypothesis about a scientific experiment he was conducting or what but we got "I don't know" which we should have guessed.

After all attempts to remove said raisin from his nose (blowing, blub syringe, etc.) we called his pediatrician who advised us to go to the ER as it was 7pm on a Saturday. After a snotty experience for Brett (I'll leave out the details) and some trauma for Ian, the raisin came out and we are the proud owners of a package of tissues that cost some unearthly amount for the ER visit. We can also tell anyone who needs to know how to get something out of ones nose out for a much smaller fee than the ER :) The docs sent us home with our souvenir of the experience complete in a sealed specimen jar.

At least it wasn't a kidney bean. I've heard those are much worse!
