$100 Dollar Crayon

Well Bryceman has now passed Caleb in amount of Emergency room visits. Which is ridiculous! If you know Caleb you know that he is pretty accident prone and frequents the ER often. Tonight however it was Bryce that had to go to the ER. I guess he was picking up his crayons and decided that it might be fun to stick a crayon in his nose. Little did he know the problems that would cause. He had told Robb that he put a crayon up his nose but we didn't realize that it had broke off. We put the boys to bed as usual and a little while later Bryce was crying saying his nose hurt. When Robb looked in his nose there was the crayon. Stuck! We both tried to retrieve the crayon with a tweezers but we weren't able to get it out and we were worried about pushing it up farther. So at 10 at night Bryce and I headed to the hospital. We got a second opinion on what to do from the girls I work with and it was decided that we would have to go the ER and get it removed. Bryce was very brave and after an exam they decided to use a special extracter to get the crayon out. I guess this problem isn't that unusual and they even make a special tool for it. Who would have known? The pink crayon was removed and after getting some stickers we were ready to head home. The hospital secretary came in the room to do the dismissal and take my visa so I could pay the $100 for the pink crayon piece that was covered in boogers. I think Bryce learned his lesson the hard way, so hopefully we won't have to visit the ER again for any nose extractions.
