Adventures in the ER, Dayton Style

We love to play with water beads around here... (teeny balls that once soaked in water they expand and become almost jelly like)  They're all fun and games until Dayton sticks one up his nose.

He started to cry and Kyndi told him to blow his nose - instead he sniffed and it was officially stuck.
Enter trip to the ER

 He painted on my ipod while we waited for the doctor

 After spending a LONG time waiting, having a scope shoved clear up his nose and through his sinuses without any sedation, and then waiting forever to be discharged, we finally got to go home. Doctor's conclusion: Water bead loosened itself and escaped down his throat while we were there...

Pictures of Dayton awaiting discharge. "Oh my, why they're taking forever mom?"

He seriously was a good kid through the whole thing, he grimaced when the scope was so rudely shoved into his face - and was so brave and cute the whole time that the hospital staff kept coming to peak at him through the door.  As we left, a few of the nurses were talking about what a cute/good kid he was.  ...When we first arrived, the blood pressure cuff scared him a bit - he was brave and let the nurse put it on, but when she left us in the room briefly, he started to cry saying he wanted it off.  Cute kid.  I don't think he'll be putting things up his nose again anytime soon.
