So Sunday at bedtime Anabel announced that she just swallowed a penny!

We weren't sure what to do. I immediately emailed our doctor but then realized it was Sunday and they probably wouldn't get it. Then i looked up what to do online. One person mentioned that they called poison control when their kid swallowed a penny, so that is what we did. They told us that if it's causing her discomfort then we needed to take her into the ER to get an xray. Well it was bothering her.

Then I did get a reply from our doctors and they said the same thing. So Bob took her in. 

I stayed home and got the kids to bed.

Bob kept me updated via txts. It ended up that our hospital needed to transfer her to a different hospital to get the penny out. So she was transferred by ambulance and ended up staying over night there.

The next morning she got another xray and they determined she needed 'surgery' but don't freak out, they didn't cut on her! They had to put her under and then pull the penny out. From knock out to done was about 6 minutes long. It went really smooth. 

Grandma and grandpa came down and grandma watched Abby, Matthew and Reuben for me so grandpa and i could drive down to pick Anabel and Bob up. Reuben was great while i was gone. He even drank from a bottle (drank some breast milk that i had frozen). I was so relieved he did so good for me while i was gone!
