this rock doesn't rock


We've had quite a day here in L-town. Here's the low-down....Brennan got a rock (pea gravel) stuck in his nose at the church this morning. We took him to our family Dr, and she could not get it out. It took 3 people to hold him down - that boy is one strong 3 year old! We then went to a local ENT Dr...but the rock is still NOT out!! They are going to have to do surgery tomorrow morning to get it out. It's so far up, and so lodged in that they need to have him asleep to get it. So, we go in to the surgery center at 8:45 am. The good thing is that hopefully this will be less tramatic for him...he won't remember anything. The hardest part will be that he can't have anything to eat or drink until after the surgery. I know everyone is telling me this happens all the time....but this kind of thing happens all the time to OTHER people. It's not supposed to happen to "you". So go ahead and laugh, My wife is teetering between crying and laughing...not sure which is more appropriate. We'll report how tomorrow goes....

This'll be one for the baby book!

Gee, sounds fun Dad! Hope the thing is out by now and it's starting to hurt less, relatively speaking. Good thing docs know what to do. I would eventually be a basket case!!! I guess God is equipping the whole fam to handle even bigger ordeals. Be a good boy, Brennan!
