Oh, and now that we know all is well, I'll share a humourous ear story with you.
I had to take my 7 year old nephew to Children's Hospital the week before last for a day surgery with his E,N & T specialist. For what you ask? Why, to get the rock he had stuck in his ear surgically removed of course!
Yep. Rock. Jammed right up against his eardrum.
He kept fussing with his ear, and when asked about it, would say he had a rock in his ear.
Don't be silly! we'd say.
You don't have a rock in your ear!
Two doctors who were no help later... "um, well it does look like a rock, but it seems to be attached, so it must be a polyp..." his useless pediatrician finally gets the referral through to my nephew's ear, nose and throat specialist, who quickly ascertained that, yep, there indeed was a rock in Cormick's ear.

Thank goodness for Dr. Moxham, who did surgery on Cormick when he was 5 months old and absolutely loves him. All the other doctors were beyond useless.
So, the rock was too jammed in there and extremely painful when he made any attempt to remove it, so there was nothing else to do but put the lad under and pull that sucker outta there while he was out.
Yes, I am definitely going to be scrapping this one! I have all the pics for it, except one of the rock. We have the rock, lol. Dr. Moxham made sure he kept it for us, lol.
