Olivia's first X-ray

Olivia had her first x-ray today. She was in her highchair eating breakfast and she had pulled at her snappy clip in her hair and I told her to leave it alone. She did and I went downstairs for maybe 45 seconds to turn the dryer on more. I came up and her clip was gone. She was fine and acted just as normal as always. I searched & searched & couldn't find it. But she seemed fine so we went to our school activity we have on Tuesdays. I talked to Pat around 11 & he thought I should call in to her Dr to maybe have an xray done. So long story short, we went in and sure enough-there was the clip. I couldn't believe it. We could set a whole bucket of small legos in front of her (but haven't) & not have to worry and then she swallows the same clip that she's worn for months. Besides the ponytail in her hair for one day, this clip is the only thing that she keeps in. Her Dr. said it should pass within 5 days & just to watch for it in her diaper. The clip is closed at this point, so didn't think there should be anything to worry about. If it should somehow open up, which is unlikely, it has a sharper point and may do a little damage so have to watch for tummy aches until it does pass. I scanned the x-ray so you should be able to see it.
