That's a big booger!

As I mentioned in my last post, we needed to pay a visit to the PD to get Cherise's nose cleared. It was a quick process, first the doctor taught me how to do it but because the booger was all dried up and stuck too deep into her nose, the nurse had to insert a super thin catheter into her nose to suck the stuff out. The catheter was attached to a machine that does two things, to spray tiny amounts of water into the nose (to wet the booger) and to suck it out. Kinda works like the Osim I-ecology. Anyway, the nurse managed to suck out quite a big chunk of booger...the kind you'll only expect from an adult. How in the world did all that get in there? And that was only yesterday! Today, I managed to dig out another big piece!!! Now I must check everyday...if she does not sneeze them out herself, I'll have to "go in" and get it out before it all dries up and gets stuck again. I really do not wish to pay another $70 to use some special booger remover.

Anyway, as expected, it was quite an ordeal for Cherise. I mean how would YOU feel if somebody stuck something up your nose?!?! So there was a little bit of serious crying but she calmed down pretty quickly after that. It must have been a tramatic experience for her because she was so exhausted from that short crying that she fell asleep very quickly. And she stayed asleep for more than 4 hours. Not a bad thing anyway cos' we managed to squeeze in a short shopping trip before we headed back home. The trip was short but fruitful, I'll post more about the purchases later. As for now, here's a picture a Cherise in her rocking chair, we like to put her in it after she feeds to prevent her from regurgitating (she tends to if she's lyiing down).
