ER Scare

We had a bit of a scare this morning with Jayelle. Dave knocked a couple batteries that fit into watches off the dresser and couldn't find one. He then got distracted while we were packing to go to Great-Grandpa's house and forgot to search for the other. A few minutes later Jayelle was playing by the spot he dropped the battery and he thought she might have ate the missing battery. We called poison control and they advised us to go to the ER to get a XRay. So we packed up Jaye went to the ER, and praying all the way that she had not consumed it with a sick feeling in our own stomachs. In the ER Jaye was wonderful despite missing a nap and it being so close to lunch time. I asked the ER doctor if I could give Jayelle water, but he said no because if she did have a battery insider her little body it would be stuck in her esophagus which meant surgery. This of course made our hearts skip a beat! In the Xray, Jayelle had to lay flat on the table while I held her arms and feet. She did wonderfully. . .no rolling at all! After that we remained another 5mins. Waiting for the results as calm as we could. And we are extremely happy to report our daughter is battery free! Praise the Lord!
