Pomegranate

Back in November Griffin and Mesha both thought it would be funny to put a pomegranate seed up their noses (Later Mesha told me she did it because she thought it might be good for "The Funny Show" meaning she wants to be on AFV).  Mesha got hers out, Griffin did not.  Is Griffin the only almost-4-year-old that can't blow his nose worth beans?  After a lot of trying on our own with tips from the nurse help line we took him into the ER.  The ER tried to get it out but was unsuccessful.  Onto the EENT the next morning.  The doctor took one look up his nose and said we would have to put him under to get it out.  The next morning EARLY in the morning I took him to an out patient surgery center to knock him out and get the seed out.

Griffin ready for "surgery" with the little panda they gave him.  We named him Black Nose :)

Ready and waiting for the sleepy juice.

We were in the bay on the end and Griffin was playing peek-a-boo with all the doctors and nurses walking by.

This might be funny in a few years or so but for now the medical bills are still coming in and it makes me want to ban small nostril sized objects from our house forever (goodbye corn, see ya later peas...). Griffin, Griffin, Griffin...
