Justin here tonight. Vicki said that I needed to tell this story. So life on Thursdays has been crazy to say the least. Emilee has gymnastics, Caleb and I are taking Taekwondo, and this past Thursday Vicki was scheduled to work. Vicki was working, Emilee and I were rushing around downstairs trying to get her gymnastic clothes ready, when Caleb started to shout from his room. He was up there with Miya and one of his friends. I proceeded to go up there to see what was happening. I saw Caleb holding his sisters face screaming at her. WELL, Miya had taken one of his coins from Guatemala and put it her mouth, I went into the room and to get to her JUST as she swallowed. Now, Miya usually spits things out if she takes them. But not this time. So, not knowing how big of coin, not knowing if it was indeed a coin, and needing to get Em to her gymnastics, Caleb and his friend ready for Taekwondo, we proceeded to wait and watch. Menawhile Caleb was wigging out that he is out of his money.
Thursday night Miya did not sleep well. So on Friday Morning Vicki took Miya into the hospital to get an X-ray to see where it was at. Also, we did not know what material the coin was made out of. Keep in mind that the coins vary from very very small to extremely large. The good news is by then, it was in her colon. We had it planned to take the twins to my folks for the weekend too. So we wanted to make sure that all would be well. Well, I met the folks in Ames, passed the girls on. I met with a few college students from our church that go to ISU. On my Way home at 8:17pm, the coin came out. First thing that Caleb asked, is Miya going to live? Second thing...can I have my coin back? Welcome to the Schrock Tribe!
