It looked someone had taken a whole punch and punched a whole in her check. When we got home I called a neighbor of ours who is a Dentist to ask "WHAT NOW". He asked me if any of the straw had broken off-which it hadn't and told me the most important thing was to get the bleeding under control and other than that it just had to heal. He said she was lucky it was on the side of her throat so that when she swallows food it wont scrape the scab off....gross I know! She was incredibly brave and really didn't cry she just got real quite and said "I'm going to bed". He told me that her throat was going to be SUPER sore and feel similar to strep throat for a couple days. When I woke up this morning she as already awake and I tried to convince her to stay home but she wanted to go to school more or less to show off her battle wound I like because around 9:00 am I received a call from the nurse and Nicole wanted to come home her throat hurt so bad. She's been resting which I think she needed more than anything after that fun filled spring break and when I asked her what she would like for lunch surprisingly she said...a vanilla milk shake from Sonic!!

OUCH!!!
Last night we headed to Sonic for a treat (ok it's what we did for family night...I know worst mother in the world award goes to me- but sometimes you just got to do what you got to do) and Nicole got a vanilla milk shake. Well Bridget's window was down and Nicole was sitting next to her in the middle seat so she leaned over to roll up it up. When she did the bottom of her cup hit the car seat jamming the straw into the back of her throat!!! She made and awful shrieking noise and we couldn't figure out what had happened-she wouldn't talk. We were asking her if she had a cold headache and then she said no something popped. So I told her to reach her finger back there and feel around. When she pulled it out it was covered in blood!!! She shoved a napkin in the back of her throat to stop the bleeding and when I looked inside this is what I found...

My throat hurts just from reading this!
Why didn't you mention this awful thing to me on the phone? Poor girl. I did the same thing, but with a pencil, when I was 8. I couldn't eat solid food for 5 days. It is a pretty rotten place to get hurt.
I do have to say that she is one of the toughest kids I know.
That is so scary. Poor girl! OUCH! Makes my mouth hurt.
All I can say is OUCCCCHHHHHH! What a tough girl! Can't say I would be as tough.
