Well...Timmy's at it again. On Novenber 5th he decided it would be neat to swallow a coin of some sort. I called the doctor and they said bring him in for an x-ray so we can make sure it did not go into his lungs, lucky for us and him it did not. The ER doc's said to bring him back in 48 hours if the coin did not pass. Well...it didn't (we know this because we have to dig through the poo every time he goes, gross huh?!) so back to the hospital for more x-rays but with dad this time. Dad comes home and tells me where it is and I told him it had not moved so we called the after hours doctor and it just happened to be ours and she said don't worry, sometimes it can take up to a week. I said okay and she said bring him back for another x-ray on Wednesday, fine I said, so here we are on Wednesday November 11th still without a coin and I took him to the hospital for yet another x-ray only to find that it still has not moved. Our doctor called us tonight to inform us formally that it has not moved and that while swallowing the coin is not a problem the fact that it has not moved in 6 days is. She told us that she will be doing a surgical consult on November 12th since all the doctors had already gone home for the night. So, here we sit and wait to see when and where the adventures of "coin tummy Timmy" take us. Let's hope he learns a lesson from all of this. When we find out more we will post again.
