Lucy made her debut appearance at the ER last night after she shoved a piece of corn from our yummy July 4th dinner up her nose. After several unsuccessful attempts at retrieval with a pair of tweezers I admitted defeat and packed us up and headed to the ER. Luckily, the ER wasn't busy so we got right in. The doc tried to dig the corn out with a pair of hemostats (read: medical tweezers) then the nurse suggested we try to blow it out. So the doc pinched the unaffected nostril closed then I blew in Lucy's mouth. Sure enough that corn shot right out! We all cheered and Lucy beamed like she had done something extraordinary.

this is an hilarious story. Way to go, Lucy!
Lewis had a bean stuck up his nose by a friend toddler and went through a similiar process. Guess getting something stuck up your nose is a part of growing up!
Another milestone Lucy!!! Better a corn kennel than a lima bean! ;>)
Wes' experiment in nose stuffing was a lego--luckily for me when he was in Aunt Brenda's care and I was at work. Like father, like daughter.
By the way, Lucy was incredibly calm thru the whole ER episode--I was amazed.
