Some parents really need to rethink stuff they gift their kids. This couple learned this the hard away after their 7-year-old son ingested a pair of Airpods.
The Airpods, mind you, were a gift for the little boy. Last time we checked, at this age, kids were supposed to play with toys or reads books, not listen to music using Airpods!?That aside, the parents freaked out after their son swallowed the Airpods and rushed him to the ER.?
Kiara Stroud, the boy¡¯s mother, in a?Facebook?post, shared the X-ray image of of her son's stomach which showed the wireless earbud resting just below the boy¡¯s rib cage.?She said her son was holding the earphone in his mouth by the stem when he swallowed it.??
In a Facebook post, Stroud reveals that she 'drove [her] mail truck back on 2 wheels crying like a baby'. Once at the emergency room, X-Ray photos of QJ's stomach showed the AirPod lodged just below the rib cage.
'Today, we didn¡¯t yell at him, didn¡¯t curse, didn¡¯t ask why, didn¡¯t tell him he was too old, didn¡¯t shame him, and didn¡¯t make the situation worse,' Stroud said in a Facebook post. 'He already felt bad. He was scared and nervous. We let him know that everything was going to be okay, stayed calm, and it helped him to relax so that the doctors could do their jobs', she continued.?
Stroud said: "We actually saw it because it has metal in it, so we could see it in the X-ray and I¡¯m like, 'This boy really swallowed his AirPod!'"??
He was rushed to an emergency room in Children¡¯s Health care of Atlanta. According to the doctors, the Airpod is expected to come out on its own. ¡°Thanks for all of the prayers. We¡¯re home. No more Airpods for this kid,¡± she wrote in her Facebook post. For now, parents need to be wary of what they gift their 7-year-old and Airpods should be the last thing on anyone's mind!?
