Ugh

So now comes the dilemma. We're supposed to be searching for the magnet. It's apparently very important to confirm that it exits the boy in one piece. My husband has been doing a very good job, and the girls even saved yesterday's poo so he could search it when he returned home. No magnet in the poo however.

Today, the boy was out of the house and had to poo. There we were, in a public restroom with no special poo collector bucket and no popsicle stick spatulas. So, he went, I gave a cursory glance, no visible magnet, so we flushed.

So where's the dilemma? The dilemma is actually borrowed trouble at this point. The dilemma will arise if the husband can't find the magnet. Theoretically the magnet was hidden in the gigantic poo which was flushed. If that's the case, we have no confirmation that the magnet exited in one piece. So then what? Back for an xray? Do we just let it go like the oldtimers would have? I mean, as long as he's not eating other metal or magnets he should be fine, right?

Surely the boy's father won't fault me for not carrying the poo collecting aparatus around today. Surely he would have done the same thing.

I guess there's no use worrying over a situation like this. These things seem to always work their way out in the end.
