Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Mojo in the morning, Mojo, Shannon, Meghan,
have kp Lydia, Zach. Good to have you guys here
with us. Shannon had a hillacious weekend one that I'm
sure if you're a parent you understand. You spent the
weekend in the hospital in the r Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah. So Friday evening we were eating dinner and it
was myself, Wes and then Lucy and Smith and Smith
was playing with this like fidget toy that he has,
and it's a bunch of magnet beads that are all
stuck together and you can like make different, you know,
figurines or whatever, I don't know, shapes out of them.
(00:39):
And Wes had said to him, hey, buddy, you got
to be really really careful with those around the dogs,
because if one of them happens to get on the
floor and a dog swallows them, they can get really,
really really sick or even die. And Smith got super quiet,
and by the look on his face, I knew that
something was wrong. And he goes, wait, so like you
could actually die, and we're like and Wes was like, yeah,
(01:02):
like it's it can be really harmful to them. You
can die, and he goes, am I gonna die. So
we knew that he somehow had swallowed some of these
beads at some point in the day, and so we
took them to DMC Children's in Troy to get an
X ray and get them checked out in everything. And you, guys,
(01:25):
these if if your kids have these magnet beads, and
this is the reason I am telling you this story,
throw them away, truly, immediately, Yeah, throw them away. Because
Smith's seven years old. He knows better than to swallow something.
But what he was doing was pretending he had braces
and he was getting them to stick together in a
line in his mouth, and he went to take a
deep breath, and he said it happened so fast, but
(01:47):
he accidentally swallowed them. That's what was That's how it happened.
And so I we literally were in the hospital from
Friday evening. They transferred us to DMC Children's in Detroit
like around one in the morning on Saturday, and that's
where we spent our weekend doing X rays and tracking
these beads because they can be so so incredibly harmful
(02:10):
to the intestines or the stomach tissue. They can make
perforations in your bowels, like it's a really serious thing.
You could swallow pretty much anything and they would send
you home and say, just poop them out. But when
it's magnets, it's just a it's a totally different story
and a very scary story. So we spent our weekends
with you know, talking to surgeons and gi doctors and
(02:33):
it was a scary it was piano man, so scary.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So and and by the way, and listen, I'm sure
there's some parents that are listening on I've been there,
done that, And if you have and you want to
share eight four four Mojo Live eight four four six
six five six by four eight of even what your
kids might have might have swallowed or why did you
have to go to the er? But it's it's a
scary thing to have happened. And I didn't know how
scary it was. And I was having a conversation with
(03:00):
Chelsea about it, and I said, oh my god, you know,
say a prayer for for Smith because he's doing this thing.
And she told me a story about somebody that swallowed
a little battery. I guess that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Now that's also a bad thing. Yeah, Magnet's batteries are
no point.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And I remember there was a there was a person
that that we had known through a friend where the
kid died from one of those things.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah scary, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, Like don't like seriously, you know your kids aren't
gonna listen to you, but you got to make sure
just get like Shanna said, throw this crap out. But
kids will put everything in their mouths, you know. I mean, hell,
we put everything in our mouths.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right, I mean this And Smith was such a trooper.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I have them, I have the well these are not
They're still in his body, but this is what I
had to bring him to the hospital because I wanted
to show the doctors what what they were.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But this is the toy. And so he swallowed two
of these. Thank god, when he swallowed them, they were intact.
That kind of was our saving grace that they they
have stayed together. Wow, the entire time that they've been
passing through his body. So it was like X ray
after X ray, which freaked me out because that's a
lot of radiation. And also I've never talked about poop
(04:15):
so much of my entire life.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Where are they currently in his body?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So they are off to show you the X ray,
they are like way down here, Okay, So you're scared
the whole time that they're going to separate and then
one's going to end up in one section of the intestine,
one's going to move the other one, and then they're
going to pinch them together.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (04:32):

a clothes bin, like the metal Wow.

Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
We were there for a really long time, middle of COVID.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
What did they have to do.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
We had to wait and get a lot of X rays,
like Sanna was saying, like X ray after to watch
it kind of go down. Yeah, and he had to
pass it. But because it was metal and the two
prongs were touching, they were worried it was gonna open
and like cut his insides essentially.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, scary, so scary. Thank god. Rachel, what's up. It's
Mojo in the morning. Hi, Hi Rachel, Hi.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
No?
Speaker 8 (05:25):
I just wanted to comment, like she had said, anything magnetic,
you really don't want to around My daughter was two
and I had this really cute aerieal puzzle where you
put Auriol's clothes on and they had like a magnetic
backing to put it together, and she ended up pawing
a shoe that I found out because I was putting
it away and matches the shoes weren't matching, and I'm like,
where's the shoe and she's like, oh, I sallowed it.
(05:45):
But we had to go to the er and they
took an X ray and we had to wait un
till it came out. And thankfully, there wasn't a lot
like Shannon's sun. It was just this little magnetic piece
on the back of a shoe.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Geez man.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
So they even told us one mag it would have
been fine. They would have sent us home and he
would have passed it. But the fact that it was
two and the yeah, that's what made it incredible.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, man, scary, this is scary stuff. Like you, uh,
if you or I have a son or daughter and
you have any of these things around you gott yeah, uh, Jillian,
are you there? Yeah, this actually wasn't swallowing, but what happened.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
So he had the magnetic balls and he was trying
to make a nose ring, and he inhaled and got
one on each side of a septum. Oh my god,
thy god, they didn't go to lungs magneted together, and
we thought they came out.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
And we didn't know until I got his X ray
for his braces.

Yeah, my son, he was one years old and swallowed
a honey sanded up in the hospital fa sing act
rat making sure it was making its way through. They
sent him home to wait for it to come out.
And first we had a pole bowling with all the family.
What here will the honey be?
Speaker 8 (07:32):

Speaker 6 (07:36):
And then after it was done, made sure to clean
it first. But my aunt made a Christmas ornament and
put the honey on it, and now it hangs on
our Christmas tree. That said Ben pooped the honey.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I mean, thank god that everybody's okay. But I've heard that,
I've heard kids that swallow coins that it actually could
be fatal to them too. It's so scary.

Oh my god. Did they say that he could have
lost his hearing from.
Speaker 3 (08:22):

on the end of it, and you know, the doctors
told my parents, how, you know, keep track of when
I go to the bathroom and see if I, you know,
pass it or anything. And I didn't, so they had
to take me to the hospital and uh remember, strap
(11:30):

late text glove and a bunch of stuff, and next
