The parents of a 3-year-old girl from Oregon who had “flu-like”
symptoms thought their daughter caught the flu until an X-ray showed a
circle resembling a bracelet in the toddler’s stomach.
Payton Bushnell’s parents saw a circle had formed in her stomach and originally thought she swallowed a bracelet.
Doctors at Randal Children’s Hospital confirmed Payton had swallowed 34 high-powered desktop toy magnets that actually snapped her intestines together and tore three holes in her lower intestine and one in her stomach.
"The surgeon came out and said, 'I wouldn't do this unless I absolutely have to, but we have to cut your daughter open,'" said Payton’s father, Aaron Bushnell, Medical Daily previously reported.
The toddler survived the intensive procedure and made a full recovery.
