*sigh* it's been a really long night.
We were out on the front porch enjoying the weather and letting the kids do some sparklers when all of a sudden ds1 (who is 9) started jumping around and screaming and completely freaking out. I thought he burnt himself or something so I ran over to him to take a look. I didn't see anything and he was still freaking out so I sat him down on the porch. When he finally calmed down enough he screamed at me "Theres a bug in my ear!!!!!"
WHAT? a bug.....?.....in your ear?.......I git the flash light and shined it in ds's ear, and there was definitley a bug in there. I didn't know what to do so we went to the ER. ds has a very extensive history of problems with his ears so I didn't want to mess with it myself.
He freaked out the whole time, saying he could feel it moving, and it sounded like a helicopter in his ear. we waited forever to see the doctor and when we finally did ds was a little calmer.
Yep, there is a bug in his ear. the doctor stared blankly like he didn't know what to do next. When I asked how he planned to get it out he just told me he'd be back. Maybe he had never seen this before? I heard him asking nurses in the hall what the heck they should do.
They ended up putting some kind of numbing medicine in his ear and it killed the bug, then they took a really long pair of tweezers and a scope and pulled him out.
Ugh.....I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.
We finally got hom around 2am and ds1 is now sleeping peacefully. Poor guy, he always gets the shaft. Im supposed to follow up with the ped this afternoon. I have to say, I am glad it wasn't something worse, but that is the strangest reason I have ever gone to the ER for.
