My youngest child is Will a.k.a Locket Boy. He came to be known as this in our family due to the fact that he could not resist putting a locket that had fallen off of his sister’s necklace into his mouth. My cousin had to do the heimlich on the little stinker and he began trying to swallow as soon as the panic set in! The locket went down rather than coming up and decided to stay lodged in my boy’s stomach for 13 days and 16 hours until it was removed by a wonderful pediatric g.i. doctor with a surgeon standing nearby (just in case) under general anesthesia. The following pictures are pretty unbelievable but I assure you they are actual x-rays of my boy’s insides!!
On a side note Will has also come to be known as the “King of Hearts” since the day after he swallowed the heart locket he went and got dressed in his Valentine’s Day shirt that says King of Hearts across the chest….the kicker here is that he can’t read yet and has no idea what the shirt says : )
