Drake's ER visit

So, last week when Drake was suppose to be down for a nap, I found him downstairs playing with a magnet puzzle thing we have.  As I went to get him I notice him chewing on something.  As I went to exam what it was one of the metal magnetic balls popped out of his mouth. However I noticed there was another piece he was still chewing on.  I Thought I saw it to be one of the little magnetic connecting pieces and as I screamed at him to spit it out. He jumped and then his eyes went wide and the item he was chewing on was no longer anywhere to be seen.  As I was demanding for him to tell me where it went (wasn't one of my most compassionate or brightest of moments) he cried and pointed to his belly.  So I called the pediatrician who advice me to take him to the Emergency Room immediately. So I grabbed the other two boys and off to the E.R. we went.
An hour and half of time and a couple of x-rays later it was determined that whatever he had swallowed wasn't magnetic and wasn't causing him any harm.  I'm so thankful he is and was okay but i'm pretty sure the sucker he received for holding still at the x-ray machine is probably going to be the most expensive sucker I've ever had to pay for.  

He sure thought his little wrist band was the coolest gift ever.  Wouldn't even let us take it off of him after we left.  He wore it around proudly the rest of the night.

So glad it was just a false alarm!
