Lego Excitement

On Wednesday night Mark had made a quick run to the store. I was in the midst of a bad headache and was waiting for the kids to fall asleep so I could get some rest. Just as Mark was pulling into the driveway, Gavin started crying and came to me saying that his nose hurt. I asked if he had hit it on something. Nope. Was there a boogie that needed to come out? Nope. What could be wrong with it?

Lego.

Lego?

Yup, Lego.

Turns out the little guy decided to shove a small, round lego up his nose. We tried getting it out with tweezers but it was so far in there that it couldn't be reached. That meant we were in for a trip to the E.R.

Grandma was called. Aunt Beth came over to wait until Grandma arrived so that we could leave. The drive to the hospital is 20-25 minutes if there is no traffic or delays. We got there at 9:30pm. Thankfully, the children's hospital offers free valet parking.

The waiting room was rather busy for a Wednesday night. We finally got into a room after 10pm. Very nice doctor and nurse. The lego was easily extracted with no tears from Gavin. Lots of laughs were had by all. We made it home by 11:30pm

Gavin passed out in our bed after all that Lego fun.

Legos are not my favorite toy. They are a pain whether you are stepping on them or sticking them in your nose. Still, they do make for a funny story.
