Madeline’s ER Adventure

So, earlier today Mommy gave me some coins to put in my piggy bank. She thought I put them all in my bank. But a few minutes later, I started coughing. Then I handed her two wet pennies that had been in my mouth. She asked me if I had swallowed any, and I said “yes.” She called my pediatrician, and he sent us to the emergency room.

Here I am checking out my cool new hospital bracelet…

And here’s me with my Maddy-sized blood pressure cuff…

I stayed still while they took my x-ray, but I got up as soon as they finished…

I got to chill on a gurney in the hallway while the doctor checked my x-ray. I amused the doctors and nurses with my antics and my cuteness when they walked by. Bonus – it was close to the room my daddy was in when he was here a few weeks ago!

The doctor didn’t see anything on my x-ray, so they said I was free to go. I couldn’t wait to get out of there!

Here I am saying goodbye when we checked out.

Mom & dad just have to keep an eye on me the next few days, but it looks like everything is a-ok!
