Don't Eat Buckyball Magnets
Um, so my poor little Nephew Carter (who turns 2 in May) has been throwing up a lot lately. SO, my sister in law brought him to the hospital a few days ago and demanded that they do an x-ray (or something) on the poor baby to see what is wrong. Good thing she brought him to the hospital... because it turns out he's been swallowing a TON of those buckyball magnets and they created a huge mass in his stomach. They did a scope procedure this morning to get the magnets out and this is what they took out (my sister in law counted them and it ended up being around 66!!):
Crazy, right?? Poor little guy.

Ugh! The worst I've had to deal with is corn kernels way up the nose of my kids. I can't imagine.
We are always looking for parents of kids who swallow magnets who are willing to talk to the media. Would you sister-in-law be interested? It doesn't matter that this happened a while ago.
