Frequent Emergency Card

I swear we should move closer to a hospital for Moggie. On a quiet Saturday afternoon, she has decided to liven things up a bit by swallowing a quarter. She was standing there smiling about it and poor Tootie was grabbing her chest and having an anxiety attack over the whole deal. This leaves me here sitting on the computer after Googling "swallowed a coin".

Dr. Google has recommended the wait-and-see approach since she is showing no signs of choking or pain. I'm going to get a second opinion from the on call nurse at our pediatrician's office.

Good Lord! I used to work in X-Ray and we would have this stuff happen all the time.

Usually they would come in for a KUB, (Kidney's down to Bladder) and then everyday or so after that just to make sure it made it's way down & out.

A quarter! Usually a dime, nickel or a watch battery..... the little turkey!

Bless your soul!
