Little girls are a wonderful. They love to dress up, put on make-up, smell pretty, all of those wonderful little-girl things. We have had a mystery with our Molly for about a month now. There was some kind of odor coming from her and we just couldn't put a finger on it.... Was it a sinus infection? Tonsils? Tooth absess? We put her on an antibiotic to try and clear whatever it was up, but to no avail. Last night, I couldn't take it anymore. I hated that we couldn't snuggle or read books or just talk to each other without me wanting to pass out!! So I had Bill look her over--down her throat, in her ears and up her nose....this is where it gets good.
Bill---"There is something blue up her nose! Molly did you stick something up your nose?"
Molly---"No....(long pause) Well, there was that blue sponge thingy. I tore a piece off and put it up there a long time ago. I tried to get it out, but it just kept going further up!"
MYSTERY SOLVED!!!
So this morning we made a trip to daddy's work. Bill numbed up her nose and then stuck a suction tube wayyy up her nose to suck out the foam. It wouldn't come out. So he took these long skinny plyer thingys (sorry, i'm not sure the correct name of the medical device, this is close enough) and pulled the foam out in one piece. Talk about nasty! It was a little bigger than a nickle, maybe even a quarter...who knows, too big to be up a little girl's nose. Yahooo! She already smells like my Molly!! Thank you dad!!
So last night when I went to tuck her in after the discovery, she said,
"Who knew a little piece of sponge could cause sooooo much trouble!!"
Truer works have never been spoken. Amen sister!
Oh--while Molly was a big girl at the clinic, I on the other hand, had to sit down. I got a little light headed and naucious from the whole ordeal...nice mom, nice.

OH my gosh, Aleisha! That is disgusting!! I'm so sorry about the trauma. Glad all is better, though.
I saw on facebook that you have a blog. YEAH! Oh wow, the things kids do!
NO WAY!! That's crazy! Who knew that a blue foamy thing could smell so bad!! I'm glad she was such a brave little girl and that you didn't pass out, leish. we're glad you're alright molly-moo. we love ya!
ewwwwww. I wonder what she was smelling the whole time:) Having a genious parent must really be nice, it reminds me of the seashell Annie had in her ear for 8 months before the doctor discovered it.
