A boy and his bead


Awhile back Cale put a bead in his ear. We made a doctor's appointment but the night before the bead fell out of his ear so we canceled with the doctor. A couple moths later Cale goes in for a checkup and we are informed that there is a bead in his ear. He put two in originally.

The doc tries to get it out but can't get it. Carrie takes Cale to an ear specialists but he can't get it out because Cale is freaking out and screaming and fighting. We schedule a surgery at the hosiptal so they can give Cale some gas and then get it out. Then the insurance lady calls and says that will cost us in the 800-900 dollar range. We cancel.

Now we are considering other options. I think I might juist have to take him to the doctor. I'll sit on him and hold his head down while the doctors pulls the stupid bead out. Cale will scream louder than you can imagine but it has to be done.

I seem to remember a little boy, while traveling to his grandmother's house who lived in Danville, Virginia at the time, putting a bean up his nose. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....I wonder who that could've been?

What about IV sedation? General anesthesia is a risk for any person, or in my instance, any very senior dog.

It was a grape Tylenol up the nose in our family. I will make sure not to mention "her" name to keep her identity safe.
