This is what the foreign object looks like! |
This is my baby's belly =( |
Protocol says that anything over 4 cm should be removed. So we have to watch this carefully. They also recommended that we do a follow up X-ray the next morning to make sure it was still moving along safely. SO yesterday morning I took him to the ER and they did the X-ray. Unfortunately, the stubborn key had not moved at all, it was still high up in his small intestine. Not good. We have been referred to a Pediatric GI doctor to follow up and figure out the next move. They did say that there are times when these foreign objects will move really slowly and can take up to a week to pass. But they also said that the key is long so there is a possibility it is lodged and will not pass. We have our appointment with the specialist scheduled for Monday afternoon. Please say a prayer that the key can make its way through and pass on its own so my baby doesn't have to have a procedure to remove it. Prayer is the key! ;)
Luckily, Carter is feeling fine so far. Happy go lucky! Please pray that continues as well. Until that key passes, I will sift through poopy diapers with hope! =) The joys of motherhood!
