The Seed...

It's been a few weeks since my last post, the internet out here hasn't been working and it's been driving me CRAZY! After bugging and bugging the front desk about it they finally got off their lazy butts and did something about it! So, its fixed...for now.

All i have to say is Paxton sure does keep me on my toes. Every day i wake up and wonder "what's it gonna be today?" I guess thats what i get for having a boy. I love him to pieces, but he sure can get my adrenaline going. This one night a couple weeks ago was no exception.

Paxton wants to be just like his dad, in every single way. If he see's daniel doing something he thinks he can do it too. Daniel loves sunflower seeds, he eats them all the time, so Paxton thinks he needs to eat them too. He's actually pretty good at it, he'll eat one at a time, chew it up, and then go spit out the seeds in the garbage. It's really cute. Paxton was eating them one night and i noticed that he coughed, and kind of made a choking noise and then he was fine. We didn't think anything of it until a couple minutes later when he told us his nose hurt. We didn't think it was a big deal, just thought he had a booger. So Daniel lays him down and looks in his nose, his response was "OH MY HELL", thats not what i was expecting to hear. I asked what was wrong and he told me there was a sunflower seed UP HIS NOSE!! and i mean ALL the way up there! You could see the very end of it. I freaked! I guess when he had coughed the seed went from his throat to his nose. poor kid!! We tried EVERYTHING to get that seed out, we tried tweezers, sucking it out, vacuuming it out,yes with a vacuum. we tried to make him sneeze by having him sniff pepper and smoke, he did sneeze but no luck with the seed. After a few hours of this we decided to take him to the E.R. We were afraid of him getting a bad sinus infection from it and it was 11 p.m and didnt want him going to sleep with it up his nose. We waited in the waiting room for an hour when he started sneezing. i looked up his nose and noticed that the seed has moved down a little and was low enough that it started tickling his nose. He sneezed again and BAM that thing shot out like a rocket!! We were SOOOO relieved. I was not looking forward to a doctor strapping him down and getting it out. Here are some pictures of our attempts of getting it out and then the seed after it came out. That sucker was HUGE! i have no idea how it physically fit up his little nose, it had to of been so uncomfortable! Poor little kid.
