My sanity is wearing thin...

So I know I am a few days late updating this but lets just say this week has been a little crazy around our house. After C.J. (our youngest) sticking a bead up his nose, the ER failing to get it out, a trip to the ENT and finally ending up in surgery Tuesday was an extremely busy day. We got to the ENT at around 11:30, he looked up C.J.'s nose and the bead was still there, but was just back far enough he couldn't safely get it in his office so he scheduled surgery for 2:30 that afternoon. We finally get everything scheduled, doc took one more look up his nose to get a good idea of where the bead was and he said he could see it lodged in between the nasal septum, we left his office a little after 1. Show up at the hospital for the surgery and doc comes in and tells us that everything should go pretty quick he thinks that once they give him a little gas they will be able to reach up there, grab the bead and wake him back up, shouldn't take over 10 min from start to finish. So when it was an hour later and we still hadn't seen the doctor, and they hadn't came out to get us, I knew something went wrong. A little over an hour later the doctor finally comes out and tells us that when they put C.J. under, and looked up his nose to grab the bead, it was gone. They couldn't find it and were extremely worried that he may have aspirated it. So they ended up scoping his sinuses, bronchial tubes, both lungs and his esophagus, looking for this dang bead. It was never found but they kept him for an hour after he came out of anesthesia to make sure his oxygen levels stayed up, and then did a chest xray, and finally sent us home. I think between all the stress from the day and the barometric pressure(that is not a friend to Katana's head) she ended up with a severe headache at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. Chris and I both sat straight up in bed to her screaming in pain, upon bringing her down stairs we realized she had a fever, which with Katana happens occasionally for no known reason. When she woke up Wednesday morning she was all better, her headache and fever were both gone and even though she seemed to have a little headache off and on through out yesterday it never got as bad as it was at 3am. So we ended our streak of no severe headaches but I will gladly take one in 7 weeks compared to the 4-5 a week we were having before. Now I am just hoping for a nice relaxing weekend with no excitement to get everyone ready to go back to school Monday, and hopefully repair some of mommy's sanity. lol
