It’s been 6 days since Samantha swallowed my ring and we still have not retrieved it. On the advice of teachers at her preschool, we took her to the hospital on Monday and took an x-ray. The ring was still in her stomach, and the Doctor said it could take up to a week for it to pass. If she doesn’t produce it by Sunday evening, then we have to take her back to the hospital for another x-ray and possible invasive measures.  I hope that it doesn’t come to that!

In the meantime we are coming up with creative measures to search Samantha’s stool. I will not go into detail. But I will say that I have discovered the limit to my Husband’s involvement in Toddler Potty Antics. He will not, nay! he can not, help in the search for the ring. Poor guy gags at the thought of it.
