...cause, when i took my daughter to the doctor today for a temp of 102.2 and a suspected ear infection, that is what they found inside her ear canal during her exam.
something tiny, pale blue, and shimmery.
me : peyton, what did you put in your ear THIS time?
(because, this isnt the first time. she's THAT kid.)
her : i dont remember.
me : sigh.
i have no idea what in her environment could possibly match up with what i saw thru the ear-looker-thingy.
it was mobile, sort of.
when she thrashed and screamed. it sorta shifted.
but, the doctor was unable to grab it, due to my daughter freaking the hell out...
...its really too bad she didnt react this way when she was SHOVING SHINY STUFF INTO HER EAR HOLE.so, since we failed at the mystery object removal, we are gonna hit her with oral antibiotics and oil based ear drops over the weekend, and hope that it will come out (psh) -- or at the very least, hope we can reduce the swelling and pain from the RAGING INFECTION that the pretty little blue thing is causing, and try again when we go back monday morning.
in the meantime, i'm going to do my best to resist my morbid curiosity, and refrain from blowdart'ing my child and then removing it thru whatever means necessary.
her : (random'ly, much later)....did it look like blue crayon, or candy or tape or something else?
me : sigh.
