I knew that being a parent would be a learning experience. I guess that I just really underestimated the extent to which this learning would reach. For instance, I recently learned that aluminum sometimes doesn’t show up on x-rays. And, I learned that even stuff with rough edges mostly comes through the GI tract with no damage being done to the person who ingested the thing with the rough edges. So very interesting. I am also learning how much intuition that I have accumulated as a mother. I knew by the look on his face that he had swallowed the pop top on that can. I knew it even when it didn’t show up on the x-ray. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. That baby…….
