Sunday was a busy day. Our neighbors were hosting a graduation party, so right a way in the morning Phil got up and went out to mow the lawn. Then he weed whipped and helped Eric a little with their lawn.
A couple of weeks ago the electricity went out in the garage. Phil tried to rerun the wire, but needed something from Menards. So, around noon we all hopped in the van and took off for Applevalley. We got what Phil needed from Menards, but I wanted to find some jalepeno plants for my garden. So, we went to some of the greenhouses to find some...NEVER DID! No one has any this year.
When we got home we went over to the graduation party. We hung out there for awhile. As we were leaving we invited all of the neighbors over for a fire. So, we rushed home and made dinner fast, because the company would be here in a hour or so. We had chicken and corn. Not fancy I know, but it was quick. After we were done eating I got up to clear the table. I took the plates to the sink. When I got back Nessa was digging in her nose. That meant that she had stuck something up her nose. This obviously was not the first time she has done this. I have dug peas, corn, mac and cheese, m & ms, chow mein noodles, and other things out before. THis was nothing new. I called Phil in the house (he had gone out to work on the electricity) so that he could help me get the corn out. Now all I needed was for him to hold her arms down. I would take a flashlight and put it in my mouth, put her in a headlock and dig it out with a tooth pick. But not this time...Phil wanted to pull it out. He used a tweezer. Just as he got it in her nose she jerked causing him to push it in further. Then he took the snot sucker from when she was born and jammed it in her nose as far as he could. This obviously pushed the corn in further. So, we ran to the ER. It didn't take long to get in and see the doctor. But, he wanted her sedated to pull the corn out. The nurse then called a anesthetist to sedate her. It took him an hour to get to the hospital. Then it took him and the doctor a good 20 minutes to decide how to remove the corn. All the while Nessa was not enjoying sitting in the waiting room. So, then they take us to the OR. They took a seringe and shot some stuff up her nose that was suppose to relax her so the doctor could take the corn out. It didn't work, so they did it again. We waited another 5 minutes and still nothing. They did it again. Finally after about 5 minutes she was bobbing her head. Then we held her down on the operating table and the doctor tried to dig it out. That didn't work. The anesthetist suggested sucking it out with a catheder. So they tried that. I think they sucked all the snot out of her! Finally they got the corn!
We weren't able to leave just yet. We had to go back to the waiting room for a half hour for observation. She got dopeyer by the minute. It was like having a over grown infant! She couldn't hold her head up and definately couldn't stand up. She had glossy eyes. All she did was sit on my lap and say hi and bye everytime someone walked by.
After the half hour we were finally able to come home! The fire had already started. Phil was entertaining by himself. I felt so bad. I had forgotten my phone at the house and there wasn't one in the waiting room, so I was unable to call and let him know what was going on. Nessa remained dopey until she woke up in the morning and was fine.
All of the kids except for Carson have shoved something up their nose at least once. I have never had to have them sedated though until now. I guess that is what you get when you doctor in Cannon!
