Thanks for all the positive vibes and thoughts. He's doing great, acting like normal. Luckly he already had a doctor check-up scheduled for today so we might be able to get another x-ray to track it's progress.
Glad it hear that he's doing well. Those are the kind of events that can really freak you out as a parent. I can still remember the look on my mother's face when I was about his age and she just found out that I had swallowed a live 22lr round. It's a wonder that either one of us lived until I reached adulthood!

That x-ray is something I would make his fiancee sign off on before the wedding, just so she knows what she is getting in to. I do hope there are no complications.
And once again Scutter has provided us with the INGO word/phrase of the day "poop Coccoon"
Thanks Scutter.
The "crap cocoon" concept reminds me of a Birthday card I got once.
On the outside it instructed you to write your birthday wishes down on the front of the card, wad the card up, and eat it. Inside it said.......and by, and by, your Birthday wishes will come to pass.
I don't remember what smart alek it came from, but I sure remember the card!!

Hey, I talked about pleasure devices, what you got stuck inside was more of a torture/restraint device. Words have meanings, and bear traps have intended uses!!!
You can't freak out too much, it'll pass or it won't, and you have to do what you have to do. "Honey, how'd you get this scar?" Showing this one to his fiancee would be on par with a naked bathtub pic or something, though. Definitely keep it.

The paperclip has left the boy!
And you sifted through the poop?
When MiniJet was little, she had a little plastic working piano keyboard about the size of a CD case cut in half. There were those little batteries in the back that most watches use... the back popped off and she brought it to us. No batteries anywhere.
We suspected where they were...and had her X-rayed. Sure enough, there were the three batteries...and varying stages of passage of money. Dimes, pennies, nickels...The kid was a walking gold mine.
Anyhow...that was the end of swallowing change and once it was all, um..."recovered", we put them in a jar to humiliate her in her teens.
(Which has worked swimmingly)

Oh, no... I'll tell you what's funny;
"Mom, I'm short on cash...can I borrow [x-amount]?"
"Sure! I'm sure I've got some LOOSE CHANGE around here somewhere!"
"Never mind."
He'll be ok. Just get a metal detector in a few weeks to see if
Gone.
I wish you were joking. I had a woman call my store to see if we rented metal detectors because she thought her 3 year old had swallowed the spring from a paper clip. Almost asked her if she wanted an Xacto knife to get it out if she did.

I had to...some of the results were hilarious.
Glad to hear your boy is ok, AmericanBob!
