Jacob

Just the other day driving home from the farmer's market Jacob announces he put a googly eye in his ear. Ok I say we'll get it out when we get home. Well once we got home Dada tried to get it out but was unable to. After that Jacob and I headed to the doctor's office to see if they had the right tools to get it out. The PA asked the problem. I said he has a googly eye stuck in his ear. He asked what a googly eye was. I said you don't have kids do you. He said no so I had to explain what a googly eye was. After he took a look in Jacob's ear he decided to call the Dr. Matta; who recommended we go to the ER because of how deep it had got and the position of the eye.
The ER visit actually wasn't too long, which made me quite happy. The doc came in, I explained what was going on, and took a look. Before he looked in his ear he asked Jacob which ear it was in. Jacob proceed to shake his head back and forth then pointed at his right ear. He could hear the eye shaking in his ear. :) So the doctor tried fishing it out with some special tool he had but couldn't get a hold of it. Jacob did really good holding still and being brave. He did cry out a couple times because of the pain but other then that did good. Well the doctor couldn't get a hold of it so he instructed the nurse to flush it out with water. Again Jacob did real well as the nurse flushed his ear out. Tons of earwax came out, one giant chunk came out right before the doctor came in. Once that was out of the way the doctor was able to get a hold of it and pull it out.
I was so proud of how brave Jacob was. Praise Jesus for his mercy and greatness.
