The nurse came to find me at a meeting this morning. She told me Madi had a bloody nose right before school ended and she wanted to let me know, but didn't want to interrupt the meeting. So the nurse came and told me. I thanked her! Thought that was very kind of Madi to not interrupt and was respectful. Just glad she was fine!!
Apparently she was standing in line with all of her things and holding her water bottle in her hand. It was a rather long red plastic straw and it sits up inside of a clear cup. They are required to have clear containers in fifth grade so that they know they are drinking water.
Madi sneezed. And as she sneezed, her head went forward and her arm went up which forced the straw of the water bottle up inside of her nose and deep up inside. It cut her nose and caused it to bleed.
Knowing she was ok, I thought this was sad, painful and hilarious at the same time. Her nose is not that large and her sneezes are usually very tiny and not very powerful. Amazing that the straw would find her nostril and even be able to fit inside it! I'm thankful that she was just fine - it hurt a lot, but I'm very glad she is ok.
I just picture it happening and can't imagine what it'd be like to sneeze and end up with a straw up your nose!
