Mommy to monkeys Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 So one of my 3 year old twins comes up to me this afternoon (he was supposed to be resting) and says, "I eat a money. Money is yucky." Meanwhile he's drooling like crazy and clutching his throat, so I throw everyone in the car and take them to urgent care. By the time we get there he's in good spirits but the x ray reveals a big circle in his tummy! Yuck! They think it's too big to be a dime or penny. . .so probably a quarter or nickel and said if he doesn't pass it in 2-3 days that he'll need a "procedure" to remove it. Procedure?! Dear Lord, what does that mean!? Please tell me some of y'all have been through this and what to expect. UPDATE IN POST #44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yup. My 18 month old swallowed a penny. So smaller coin, but also smaller kid. It did not pass, despite everyone telling us it would. It got stuck at the end of the esophogus actually, and thank heavens he has a high pain threshold because it probably hurt stuck there like that. For 10 days. Because they said it would pass. Sigh. He had them go in with an endoscope, under sedation,and they took it out. He was at the hospital two nights, the first night because they couldn't locate someone to do it before it got late, and at that point they just kept us there to be ready for early morning procedure. And the second night because it had been there so long it was starting to perforate the esophogus so they wanted to observe him for a bit. But he came through it like a champ, and I still have the penny :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKS Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I swallowed a penny when I was 5 or so. They took an x-ray and saw that it was in my stomach. They told my mother to look through my poop until it emerged. Which it did in a few days. I kept the penny for years. TMI, I know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaners Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 At 3 one of my girls swallowed a wing nut! She took it off her reading lamp and put it in her mouth and accidentally swallowed it. She and her sister came out to see me and said they couldn't find it in the room, and maybe she had it in her mouth, and maybe she swallowed it. A few days before they couldn't find a small toy and I heard the same story but I found the toy in their blanket, so I thought it was a weird phase where they blamed things disappearing on being eaten. This time I couldn't find it. Confirmation two days later that she had indeed swallowed it. The lamp was never reassembled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 We (I was in a mixed ages Christian School) swallowed coins (quarters too) on a dare several times when I was 6 or 7 ish.

Guest Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 My youngest brother swallowed a nickel. No one had any idea anything was wrong until he woke from a nap and sat up. When he would sit he couldn't breathe and when he laid down he was fine. They ended up having to get it out under sedation because when he would sit up, it was just the right size that it would flip down and cover his esophagus. My older brother swallowed many coins and they all came out just fine. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'm sure it's just one of the many weird things my kids say. They haven't ever swallowed anything inedible afaik (nor have I). I haven't had to worry about keeping little things out of reach of little kids since they were 1 or so.

skimomma Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 As far as I know dd never ate coins. But I used to as a kid. Many times. And no one knew. I was around 4-5 years old and every time I would find a coin around the house (or anywhere else for that matter), I would eat it. I have no idea why or what I was thinking. I did have a mouse-shaped piggy bank that you put the coins into his mouth...... Anyway, looking back, I probably ate at least 50 coins, mostly pennies, dimes, and nickels. Nothing ever happened. Maybe I still have them! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in SJ Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 My dd swallowed a penny around 2yo. She was still using the little potty, so I resigned myself to looking for the penny for the next week. 2 days later I am telling the story at park day and the other moms started asking me; "What did the doctor say?" I thought to myself, "Why would I call the doctor?" But the other moms made me feel like a bad mom (this was my first) so I called. The advice nurse asked me, "What was the date on the penny?" What? How would I know that? She then proceeded to tell me that pennies made after a certain date had a higher zinc content that could burn a hole in my child's stomach or intestine! By this point I was feeling like the worst parent ever. I asked for the doctor to call me back and spent the next two hours imagining a penny sitting there burning a hole in my precious baby's stomach! I started feeding her anything I could think of to make her go; cherries, prunes, apricots, pears. The doctor called me back, listened to my concerns and then, without making me feel foolish, proceeded to tell me that as long as she was eating normally & her toilet habits were regular, the chances of a penny sitting somewhere long enough to burn a hole were nonexistent and that it would be very painful for the child if it were to happen and she would let us know. He said as long as she wasn't in any pain I should just keep an eye out for the penny, just as I planned on doing. It appeared the next day. I still miss that doctor. My second dd never swallowed anything. Everything went right up her nose. Dimes, dried beans, pompoms, small rocks, you name it, up her nose it went. A whole 'other story :) I will keep my fingers crossed that your coin will make an appearance soon. Amber in SJ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdrinca Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 DS swallowed a penny when he was 5. I do think the age of the child makes a difference in the ease of passing (along with coin size, of course). Advice: use the little potty, get a stash of disposable gloves, and craft Popsicle-style sticks. We turned DS's penny into a magnet that's still on our refrigerator, which I thought was really weird until I saw some of these other posts. (To be fair, the digestion process had changed the penny's appearance...we all thought it was pretty cool. Bonus science lesson?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I tell 'em that kids swallow coins and don't choke if they'll finally believe me that they won't choke on a pill. I didn't swallow pills until I was 19, and that was ONLY because I got an unexplained pain for two weeks that had me taking three different medications, with doses of one of them being every 4 hours, and my husband all but forced me to figure out how. He started by cutting the pills into quarters and having me swallow the quarters one at a time. Tedious, but by the end of two weeks I could swallow 2 half-pills at once (but not a whole pill...), and eventually progressed to now being able to swallow those freaking huge pregnancy vitamins. I will say though, that it was a genuine gag reflex that I simply could not get over. I WANTED to swallow pills, I'd tried throughout my teenage years. It was involuntary. Starting with quarter pills helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwdiaz Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I am not glad you had this mom experience but so glad you posted. I spend a few minutes quietly with my girls each evening in "let's talk about our day" mode. Three nights ago DD 4.5 said her imaginary red haired friend ate money in the car. I tried not to freak out but I had to use all my wits to see if DD actually did or didn't. The ability to get my kids to confess to stuff is really beyond my ken so the conversation went more like: Me (thinking she's playing): Really? What kind of money was it? DD: A pretty penny. Moo Moo (big sister 6.5) put it in my mouth. Me: Wait, what? Did you eat the money or your red haired friend? DD: No I didn't eat money. Me: But you said Moo put it in your mouth? DD: No I didn't eat it. Me: Did you two have a penny in the car? DD: Yes. Me: What happened to it? DD: We gave it to my red haired friend. Me (a little worried): Is this a real penny or a pretend penny? DD: A real penny but it's gone now. Me: Where did the penny go? DD (starting to pick up that something was wrong): Um, um, I don't know. Me: Are you sure you didn't eat the penny? DD: Yes. No, I didn't eat the penny. Me (ugh ugh ugh): It could make you sick to eat money. Are you sure you didn't eat the penny? DD: No. Me: Tell your red hair friend that only food is for eating. No eating money. DD (looking really concerned now): Ok. What happens if you eat money? Me: We go to the doctor and they take pictures to see where the money is. Sometimes it comes out in your poop and sometimes they have to take it out. DD (thinks this over and then): But no doctor if you don't eat money? Me: Right. And you didn't eat any money right? DD: Right. (But said in a way that really makes me think she's either not sure or this isn't the whole story.) Me: Look, if you ate money I promise I won't get mad. Sometimes we do things by mistake, but if you ate the penny then I need to know so I can take care of you. DD: No I didn't eat money. Me: But Moo Moo put it in your mouth? DD: No she didn't! Me: {face palm}?!?!? So, twenty minutes later, I get the chance to question the sister who absolutely cannot lie. She claimed she has no knowledge of the penny and never put anything in her sister's mouth. I have no idea what happened but I'm glad not to be alone in inappropriate swallowing land.

flyingiguana Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I swallowed a penny when I was 3 (I think - could have been earlier). That was the last I ever heard of it. If my mom went looking for it, she never told me about it. I still wonder if it's there. She DID put a penny in my underwear for me to find the next morning so *I* would think it came out. So I must have been upset about it. As I recall, it was an accident. But if you suck on a penny all the time, it's bound to get swallowed. I don't know why my mother encouraged such a thing.
