Magnets

Yeah! So happy that folks are posting. So I'm on service taking care of patients in the hospital this week and just heard follow up from a patient I took care of last time. She's a very mischevious 3 year old who came into the ER with belly pain and when I talked to her in the morning she smiled and whispered to me, "I ate my necklace." Sure enough, big fat metallic looking structure in her small bowel on xray. Well, usually these things "pass" :) on their own, but this one was pretty big. Not sure how she swallowed that sucker. She ended up having surgery to get them out b/c she was obstructed. I just talked to Mom and she said the surgical team took out one of those bracelets made of magnets that this little one had won at the county fair. Bet she's getting one long time out. Good thing is, she's all better. :) That's my fun story for the week so far. Hope all is well with everyone. Keep writing! :) Heidi
