Stupid, STUPID things kids do My son swallowed a water balloon. WHY did he swallow an uninflated water balloon you ask? Well naturally its because he wanted to pass gas and see if he could blow it up with his butt! SO my question is, will it pass on its own or do I need to take him to the ER? PLEASE tell me it will pass on its own. I don't think I can take the humiliation of explaining this one at the ER. I don't know how he comes up with some of this stuff. *sigh* |
Oh my gosh! How old is he? LOL (I'm very sorry to laugh but I have two boys myself and I know where you are coming from here LOL) I would call an advice nurse. Do you have that with your insurance? (you don't have to tell her why he swallowed it or it was an accident...:D) |
Ok, called my GaGa. She's an RN. She said it should pass on its own but if he experiences any discomfort in the next 24 hours to take him to ER just to be safe. DS is 11. He'll be 12 in November. |

:eyetearss:eyetearss:eyetearss Gotta love kids' thought processes. |
Oh my....laughing. If it's any consolation...I swallowed a nickel when I was a kid. I had to go to the bathroom in a bucket...so my mother could "search" for it...after 3 days of squishing poop...my mom decided it wasn't going to kill me. |
PS We want to know if his theory works too. :D |

and Deb - swallowed a nickle huh ? what were you doing - being your own personal piggy bank ? Graleyne....I do hope he's ok - and thank you SO much for the big laugh...that was one of the funniest things I've read in weeks |
LOL! I have to laugh :) But I feel your pain, I have 3 boys ages 10, 5 & 4 so I definately have heard the stupid excuses for doing stupid things ;) I think he will be fine also. Being a water balloon it's probably the small ones right? It shouldn't obstruct anything or get caught up. Don't think the stomache acids will digest it, so just have him be on the lookout, so to say for it ;) :) I have a framed print on my living room wall my Mom got me after my 3rd son was born...... There is a special place in Heaven for Mom's of little boys.....:) I'm hoping with what all they put us through, lol! :) |
This reminds me of when my sister and I jammed raisins up our noses. |
OMG I'm laughing so bad I think I wet my pants. LOL I'm going to feel bad if you have to take him to the ER but Oh man, that's hilarious reasoning. Girl, you so need a vacation. Pack it up and come this way, I'll spoil ya for a few days and DH and deal with DUG!!! |

Off topic: If it will make you feel better, my daughter just saw your avatar. She was like awwww she has a cute one!! I'm like mine are cute too!!!!! |
Having been a preschool/kindergarten teacher for 11+ years, I can spend a WHOLE day telling you about things children have swallowed (and they usually pass through the body naturally ;)) or stuck up their noses. My favorite is when a little boy stuck a piece of chalk up his nose. It was REALLY stuck, so we ended up calling the fire department and they came and pulled it out. When I asked him why in the world he stuck chalk up his nose he responded, "I was doing a science experiment!" |

I called DH and told him to please bring home a CASE of Calgon. I do not believe one bottle will take me far enough way. Yes, it was one of the small ones - the green ones that look like hand grenades. That should make it highly visible. NOT. LOL I absolutely will NOT dig through poop for a camoflauged water balloon. Ain't happening. Nope. |
