Denise asks for prayers for her daughter, Lexi
 

I got an email from Denise this morn...here's what she said:

lexi stuck a sticker the size of a quarter (and its folded in 4) up her nose on sunday. we seen it up there and them she sniffed really hard and up it went further and we couldnt see it...she was crying, etc. so we took her to the emergency room and the doctor (well the physician asst) looked up her nose, of course she was crying and said...i dont see it, its gone, its not there and i'm not going to sit her with her crying and try to do something with it.....very very very much of an ass!!!!! so i said your kidin right...it just didnt disappear and he said well she probably swollowed it....i said no, it would choke her and she would tell us cause we told her to...of course he acted like lexi was stupid and didnt know anything....he said well looks like if you want to presue it your have to go to a ears nose and throat on monday, i grab my cell phone and walked out of the room (dan was still there/ lexi) and i said very loud...i'm calling dr. litz and i told the nurse that i wanted his name..he had NO bedside manner and was just plain crappy. so i called my family dr. he told me to tell them there is an eyes, nose throat spec. on call and for them to call him in and get it out...its just up there hiding....he said there was no reason for them to act like that, etc....so i went back in and the guy was walking down the hall in the opposite direction and i said...i need to talk to you. i told him i called Litz and what he say, he was crappy and said, oh your going to get litz involved in this and i said yep....well then he put a little nose spray up her nose to reduce the swelling( so if its swelled...duh...its causing irritation) then he said can back in and said...well i'm already 20 steps ahead of you i called the spec. and he said he's not coming in for a sticker up a kids nose that probably isnt even there....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rr by this time i'm soooo pissed, i told him off and wrote down his name...he can in the second time to ck her nose again and was trying to be all nice...

sooooooooooo needless to say, i called litz today, and he called a spec. i called them and lexi cant have anything to eat or drink all day til 12:45 she has an appt. if they can't get it out in the office they will take her to surgery...omgosh...i'm freakin out.....if she has to have surgery.....i'll be back down in the er and tell them off and speak to someone higher up...the lady at the office said that the doc probably mis informed the spec. or didnt even call him.

sooooo please pray that little lexi wont need surgery...now its all swelled and she's running a slight fever (which usually means infection) i swear.. not only does our post office suck but our emergency room does too. he was so mean to a little 3 year old....i wish he'd go all night with a stick stuck up his nose....a**hole grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

lexi keeps acting for food and is really thirsty too. she keeps telling me....mommy theres food and drinks in the fridge...lets go.... if you get time please pose on yt asking for prayers. lexi is going to freak out. i'll let ya know what happens....keeps us in your thoughts and prayers.

oh poor baby..these kids sure know how to age us. Sending tons of prayers her way and double dose of patience..seems like she needs it with those Dr's.

sending prayers for Lexi.

Poor Lexi. You hear of children doing this all the time. I know of a couple
of cases and the doc's retrieved the item that was stuck up there.
Finger's crossed surgery will not be needed.
That doc was a real piece of work, to put it nicely!
I would report him and write him up with no problem!

Please keep us informed.
Prayer's coming Lexi's way.:hands:

Praying for Lexie and Denise! Sounds like it could have gone up into her sinuses or into her lungs. I sure hope not. I sure hope it's just up where they can't see and they can get it out.

My nephew had a piece of sea shell in his mouth and accidentally inhaled it into his lung. He had to have a scope to get it out. I sure hope it's just up where they can't see and they can get it out.

I know the feeling, though. My son was two and he stuck a piece of styrofoam up his nose. We could see it but couldn't reach it with tweezers. He would struggle and cry and it would go up farther. I was home alone with him (and a new baby) at the time so I called some friends as a last resort before going to the ER. Between the three of us - two holding him still and one going in with the tweezers we finally got it out.

Lexie, at three, sounds much easier to deal with in this situation than my son was at two! (He will be 24 this month).

Oh no! I hope they're able to get that sticker out soon! Poor Lexi and poor Denise-I can't BELIEVE that doctor! Thank goodness you stuck to your guns, Denise, and were able to tell him what you thought!!!

Prayers coming up for all of you!

Sending prayers for lexi, Denise and the doctor. May god ease denise's fears and guide the doctors hands as he pulls out the sticker so she doesnt need surgery. And little lexi , that she doesnt feel any pain and is not scared. Please keep us updated.

Thank you Connie for posting this for all us.

Prayers for little Lexie that she does not need surgery and that she will be able to withstand another procedure to help her feel better.

Prayers for Lexie's mommy Denise that she can stay calm and unafraid through all this .. {{{ Hugs Denise }}}

Prayers that this doctor will learn a few bedside manners and become more understanding of his patients needs and fears.

I WISH I had a nickel for every smart-alec, insensitive, uncaring, unfeeling, egotistical ER resident that we've come across in Hannah's life!! And, may I say I am proud of Denise for standing up to him!! I wish I'd told a few off in my earlier years. I seriously doubt he even 'bothered' the specialist! I think they operate on some kind of brownie point system for doing as little as possible. :mad:

That being said....MUCH prayer and many hugs coming your way, Denise. Let us know about Lexi as soon as you can!!!

Dr. with an attitude with kids?????:thumbdown

Hope Lexi is just fine very soon!!
Prays for you all!!

Praying they can get it out without surgery.

Prayers coming for poor Lexi !

You and you family are in my prayer's.

Saying a prayer that everything will be okay. That doctor sounds like an a$$.

Poor Lexi! That Doctor seems like a jerk! I will be praying for her!
