Dr.Mom In The House

They say a mothers work is never done. Whoever coined that thought left out a few words. It's more like a mothers work is never dull nor done. And when becoming a mother you know there are going to be plenty of times where your role is Dr. Mom. I've got a running tally of the things Dr. Mom can do.

• catch puke with your hands-no problem
• clean poop off just about anything-just getting warmed up
• projectile spit up - fogetaboutit

But today, today, I had the pleasure of performing my very first Nasal Toast-ectomy. You say you don't know what a Nasal Toast-ectomy is...I'll tell you.
A Nasal Toast-ectomy:
Diganosis- you ask your two year old to eat her sandwich, that has been toasted, and she instead shoves toast up her nose, inhales, then says "hey mom, there is something in my nose." I didn't witness this portion as I was in the office but I'm assuming that's just about how it went down.
Procedure- Lay said two year old on her bed while her dad holds her arms and legs and using the nasal aspirator to suck it down all the while threatening her that if she doesn't lay still she will have to go to the hospital.
Yep, that was my day. Another check-mark in the book of Dr. Mom. One I never thought that I would get but can now wear the badge of Professional Nose Toast Remover with pride.
