Ava Kendall, 2, was eating lunch at home in College Point, Texas, with her grandfather and family when she suddenly started grabbing her stomach and crying in pain. It wasn’t until two days later— Christmas Eve— that her parents found out she had swallowed nine small magnets that were part of a desk toy containing over 100 of the silver balls.
They took Ava to the emergency room, where doctors saw her elevated heart rate and pain level and took a CT scan, thinking it was her appendix. That’s when they saw the nine small magnets
The next morning they took Ava to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, where she underwent a four-hour procedure to remove the magnets, repair the tears and control her infection.
Ava is currently still at the hospital recovering with IV antibiotics, after spending a week under sedation in the intensive care unit
