Cara does....in her belly! She choked and then swallowed a penny tonight and I was advised by several people (fellow mommies and poison control) to take her to the ER. She had an X-ray and this is what they found.
It is kinda hard to see but the penny is right next to the spine on the right side (the shiny, white circle). The penny is on its way to the small intestine and should pass just fine. I have to search her stool and make sure she passes it by Monday. Otherwise, she will get another X-ray to make sure it is not held up anywhere. Her doctor's name was hard to say so he told her to call him, "Dr. Q". So, she called him Dr. Suess! She is too cute for words.
