So glad that turned out okay! My daughter had a rock in her ear when she was about 3 or so. Some kid on the playground had thrown some gravel at her and one little bitty one went in her ear. We didn't know about it though until it started hurting really bad.
My little cousin actually put a cotton ball up his nose when he was little. My aunt tells us that it was there for weeks and weeks before she starting noticing that he had this nasty odor and she couldn't figure it out. It smelled like he just had really bad breath so she took him to the dentist who discovered the cotton ball when he couldn't actually find anything wrong with his teeth or mouth. She said that thing was nasty when it was taken out! Yep, boys will be boys!
