Amelia claims that she did not intentionally stick this bead up her nose. She says that she was holding the bead between her thumb and forefinger and that she gave it a little squeeze and pop! The bead flew into the air and landed smack dab up her right nostril. I told Amelia that if this is actually what happened I'd be taking her out to buy lottery tickets tonight!
So seeing as we don't have health insurance until Wednesday and the bead was *right there* visible not all that far up her nostril but just not coming out when she blew her nose, Mike took her over to me at work to see if we could take a crack at getting it out there before he took her to urgent care.
At work the doctor and nurse practitioner on staff were all too happy to come at her with a pair of alligator forceps and a lot of "bless her heart!"s (because we are in the south after all) at which point Amelia started crying and the bead promptly came out in a big glob of snot :-)
Here she is enjoying lunch at Panera after her ordeal, which hopefully (??) will be the last such incident of her childhood!
