Up the nose anyone????




My darling daughter is always keeping me on my toes! For a few days, I thought she was just dirty and had a stinky diaper crack. I bathed her a few times, and she still stunk. Then I sniffed a little closer and thought, eeewww she has bad, rotten, milk breath. I brushed and brushed her teeth. Nothing....still stinky to high heaven. (this is over about two days). Then I figured, hmm she must have an infection between her lip and nose, it's a little red and she has had a runny nose FOREVER! I put some neosporin on it, but STILL stinky. A few hours later I see kleenex hanging out of her nose. I lie her on the ground, after retrieving my tweezers and pull a couple strips out. They were dry, and not at all stinky. I thought, well this should be an improvement. Kent came home from work and complained about how stinky she was. Poor girl, how sad is that?? I lie her on the ground a few hours later and see a little white chunk in her nose. I go for the tweezers again and pull out a few little balls of wadded wet mucousy kleenex. I couldn't believe how bad they STUNK! Then I checked again and I couldn't believe the size of the wad of kleenex that was shoved up there. It really was unbelievable! Kent just observed in awe. I got a huge ball out, and I think that was the main culprit of the smelliness! I could smell it from across the room. So icky! The reason I am blogging about this is because has anyone else had the pleasure of dealing with this??

My mommy brain has been on overdrive all weekend, paranoid that Dani is going to get some kind of brain infection.... since I pulled that all out (and I keep checking for more, but there hasn't been any yet) she hasn't smelled at all.....

I am planning on calling the Dr. in the morning (Monday) but I don't know that there's much they can do. Has anyone heard of anything horrible happening from something like this?

WOW... that is definitely one of the best crazy kid stories i have heard lately! I would be freaking out too, so i am absolutely no use... Of course - Christy! She doesn't have a brain infection! Carson ate his fill of pea-gravel and dirt yesterday too.. maybe we should introduce them?? :-)
