UPDATED TUES evening-I received a phone call tonight, from an excited 2 year old. Quote "Gram my necklace is in my poo and my money is still in my tummy", she was talking so fast, mom got on the phone and confirmed that is what happened. Still waiting on the coin but at least the E, I was so concerned about is through....Mom explained to her what happened and then showed her the necklace. ...she didn't want to swallow it again-lol------UPDATED MON-added photos and to say still in there today--------Hello Cuties,<br /><br /><br /><br />

I have to tell you about today. First I got about 3 hours sleep last night. My hip hurt so bad I couldn't sleep. Felt like a toothache in the hip. I think I have been in this chair too long. Needless to say, I never made it to church, so hubby got to rabbit hunt the last day of this season.<br /><br /><br /><br />
I just finished a sandwich for lunch and one of my sister-in-laws came to visit. She bought me a little vase with flowers, wasn't that nice? <br /><br /><br /><br />
Anyway, about 1:30 received a call, to see if Mason and Avery could stay here, while mom and dad brought Nora to the ER. Mom was loading Nora and Dad was loading Avery. I said yes, but what happened?<br /><br /><br /><br />
Nora swallowed her necklace she wore to church this morning! Mason said a bracelet, but when they dropped the kids, Mom said it was her E necklace (Elanora). They took her to the hospital my grandson works in ER admitting, so they called him and when they got there they were ready for her.<br /><br /><br /><br />
I text my oldest daughter and she was in town, so went over to meet them. Dad text me not long after they got there and said "Yep, it's in there" so I text Marsha. Unbeknownst to me, Marsha was with them and text back, "that's not all Nora swallowed!" I said what else? A coin!!! <br /><br /><br /><br />
I have the xray photos on my phone, so I can't show you right now. They think its a dime and it looks like it is higher than the necklace. Maybe she swallowed it AFTER the necklace?!!! IDK !!! Now you know why my hair is white! <br /><br /><br /><br />
Dr said she should pass them, but tomorrow they will re-xray to see if they are moving through the digestive track/bowel. IF she starts vomiting or tummy hurts, to immediately bring her in, for emergency surgery. Mom wanted someone to go with her tomorrow because it took 3 people, to hold Nora down for the x-ray. I have therapy in the morning in a different town. I told Ashley, I'm sure they have staff that can help when they have a child like this. Hope so.<br /><br /><br /><br />
I told Mason, Nora really believes in Direct Deposit! Saving money and jewelry! She is their own personal 'safe deposit box'! I also told him mom would probably give him the coin when they recover it-lol- no joking I've heard of kids passing coins before, but the necklace worries me a bit. It was a pretty long, but dainty chain and if I remember the E was about 3/4 inch, maybe. Hopefully, it won't require surgery.<br /><br /><br /><br />
So this is the "Days of Our Lives", how was yours?....I think there was a soap opera by that name....wonder how they came up with that..........

I swalllowed a square 5 cent coin when I was about two years old. My gran came along every day till I passed it.

Hope Nora passes both coin and necklace without problems.

Oh dear....us grandmothers always seem to get the 'dirty' jobs-lol-...we tried a diaper on her, when she was here. I told her mom it might set her back though, as she is potty trained now. She will be constipated holding it, as she wouldn't 'go' in the diaper....happy to hear all was well with you.

Oh my, What a day Nora created for you all! Thankfully you still have a great sense of humor. Here's hoping that the deposit will be withdrawn soon with no issues. And a prayer that Nora has learned that jewelry and coins really don't taste good so she won't eat another one.

Thank you Arisann, I hope so soon... a lady told me today when they were little her brother swallowed a coin and had to have surgery. I hope it goes though just fine but the E initial on the necklace, still concerns me.

Sounds like your families lives, are similar to ours as we have had trial upon trial after trial. The last few weeks have really been a challenge and have had people ask if we are starting to feel like Job in the scriptures. Sadly sometimes it does, as this has been going on for the last 25 years, it is well past getting old and tiring, but I am grateful it is not as intense as the trials Job endured. It is the endure to the end and maintaining a good attitude through it all, that can be difficult at times. If Job was able to survive all that he faced, then we can manage to make it through the challenges we are facing. It is always easier to laugh, than cry, as your humor in this situation shows you have already learned. This is one of those easier to laugh about situations. Let Nora know that she does not look like a little piggy bank, and if she loves wearing necklaces then she must not ever put them in her mouth. Otherwise no jewelry and no coins. Maybe being held down by 4 people will be enough of a negative memory that she will not swallow things besides food, ever again. The hospital should be able to give you a Specimen hat or 2 of them so it will be sure to catch, it would sure make it a lot easier than trying to make her use a diaper again. Hope it passes without issue. Hope that the trials can skip both our households for awhile. The trials do strengthen us in our faith, and continuing to call upon the Lord, as well as helping to recognize where we need to strengthen our protective walls around our families sometimes we just do not have enough eyes and enough energy to catch everything. Praying for no more of life's storms for a while. Hopefully a long while. Pam

Praying she passes them both without any trouble. The day we signed the papers for our first house, 49 yrs ago, while in the lawyer's office our son was playing with a penny & swallowed. I told him we had just gone into big debt, not to start eating money now! It passed.

No more money lying around either! I will do an update when they surface.

Reminds me of a story so long ago in the 1960's. my fellow co=worker was about 20 and her Mon had remarried and she now had a toddler sister by her new step dad. They told the toddler that money was dirty and not play with it. The family noticed that money was missing from purses dresser tops and other places and were questioning each other as what happened and the toddler indicted that she had flushed all the dirty money down the toilet. This all happened over a period of time and they had no idea how much the child had flushed. I am still laughing as I remember. Kay

I hope it all 'comes out in the end' soon. My mom likes to tell the story of when I swallowed a nickel. She said I freaked so bad that when I was trying to 'pass the buck', so to speak, she had to drop another nickel in the toilet and show me so that I calmed down. Needless to say the nickel came out on it's own a day later. I am now 58 and mom still laughs so hard she gets tears. Needless to say I didn't swallow any more coins, but my younger sisters and brother all gave it a try - my poor mother, I'm not sure how she's survived to the wonderful age of 80.

Goodness---traumatic for sure. Hope they pass without incidence. We have to watch little Ggranddaughter--she wants to put everything up to and into her mouth.

Nora likes to put things in her mouth too and it may be because she always sucks on the taggie ribbons, I don't know.

Oh my goodness. I come from a family of 13 kids and I don't recall that ever happening at our house. Maybe there were no spare coins or maybe we were too afraid to admit we had swallowed one.

My husband would agree, he comes from a family of 12 kids. No spare change!

Mom checked the chain and it was intact. Mom said the chain was so dainty she almost missed finding it, but she caught a sparkle from the diamond chips and that's how she located it. I told her I thought I remembered the E initial having little settings and that's what concerned me, that maybe the setting prongs would tear her intestine......Now she just needs to pass the coin.

So glad the E has made it through as that would be the one I was most concerned about. Likely wont be too much longer for the coin. So glad you got that call and glad she doesn't want to have anything to do with putting it in her mouth again. Hope you have a good day today. Pam

The E was my main concern too. Mom said yesterday morning she was with her first patient, when her phone kept going off. Both us grandmothers,Nora's aunt and 1 uncle text to see if anything had shown up, been passed. I told her that we were all concerned and maybe the worst is over and the coin will show up today. Thank you for your concern-Toogie
