It has been a full day! We started with Jackson's flag football game...in which he made 3 touchdowns. Then we headed to Collinsville, so that Savannah Grace could perform her competition dance at their annual town festival. Then, we headed to Academy to buy Jody some new football shoes...the last ones caused huge blisters. Then we went to Jody's flag football game, in which he threw some beautiful "hail Marys" and some were caught! Then we headed to a friend's birthday party for the evening at the park. Then, we finished up the evening with some trauma surgery...in our very own living room. Well, not really. But here is what happened...
While I was getting Savannah Grace dressed for her dance performance, I was taking out her earrings and noticed that the left earring didn't have a back on it. The ear lobe felt kind of hard and it was difficult to get the earring out. It ran through my mind that the earring back was IN the ear lobe...even though you couldn't see it. She didn't complain too much and so we went about our day. I had Jody look at it and he even had Dr. Mike look at it while we were at Academy. They seemed to come to the initial conclusion that the earring back was not in the ear, the ear was just infected. Well, tonite I decided to try to put some earrings back in her ears and the earring would not go...in fact, the earring obviously hit something hard and metal in her ear. Therefore, the earring back WAS in her ear!!! Oh my goodness. I have no idea how an earring back can get into an ear lobe! You seriously could not see it, but you could kind of feel it. At this point, about 9:30pm, Jody felt that we needed to get it out immediately. So, he ran up to his office and brought home all kinds of gear to do at home "surgery"....including stickers and suckers straight from the doctors office. The trauma surgery ended up being fairly mild...he was able to to get the earring back out with some little scissor looking tools. He didn't even have to cut. Thank you, God.
Savannah Grace was such a trooper through all of this. Bless her little heart...and her little ear.

what a trooper. I can't believe she is SMILING after all that. This is why G-Man & the nursery staff,we LOVE your hubby. Go Dr. Jody. (And I'm sure he had lots of help from his scrub nurses aka. Jackson & Lili)
Would you believe this is the second time I've heard that story in the past couple of years. My friend from high school has the same thing happen to her daughter! Anyway, your family is beautiful - I'm so glad you found me!
