Okay, so a couple weekends ago we were working around the house and Parker comes to mom and dad and says that there's something up his nose. What is it? we ask. Well, he said he stuck a dime up there. Dad says, did you get it out? He says, "I don't know." So one emergency room and 5 hours later we find the little dime and get it out after they have to call in the specialist! The took an x-ray of this and you could see the president that's on the dime! It never hurt Parker until it was coming back out. Why? you ask, would he put that up there? Believe me, we asked that same thing. In fact, so did the nurse. Sorry, no answer but that he wanted to see if it would fit. Parker never cried...what a trooper! Mom never cried...what a trooper!
The doctor hands me the dime stuck in his glove and all the nurses look at me like of course I will want this for his scrapbook? Am I crazy? Why do I want to to put that in his scrapbook? Heck no! I'm keeping that as a starting point to charge Parker with interest until he's 50! (Which ironically is how many grey hairs he put on my head that day).
Well, we got to the cashier's office and they charged us $150.00 copay. I said to Mark, well, it really is only $149.90 because we did get the dime back. I guess it's just another excited day in the Winkel household. Katie, is this the kind of update you are looking for?

Yep, this just goes to prove that sometimes there are very good reasons to throw money away!
I remember when Karli swallowed a nickle and it came out a quarter. I also saw a similar thing working in the ER. A small boy put a marble up his nose and after we removed it several hours later his father came in with a marble stuck in his....he was showing the neighbors what his son had done.
Keep the dimes away from Mark!
I also remember breann putting a potatoe bug up hers but I was finally able to get it out without the ER visit.
Well after reading Gayle's comment and your post I've decided I have weird cousins! How funny :) Parker is a trooper for not crying at all! I got your birthday card in the mail today...loved it! Thanks!
Ok, I just need to clarify one thing. When Karli was at grandma's she swallowed what grandma thought was a penny. It got stuck in her throat and so we had a trip to the er and the dr. pushed it down into her stomach. She passed it and it came out a dime. For a brief time we thought she could be a money machine but decided it wasn't worth it to see for sure :) It sure came out with a ton of different colors on it, and no we did not scrap book it either.
