That is frightening. I followed Monica's link and it's excellent, and you follow another link on the first page and it tells you in detail what signs to look for while you are waiting for it to pass on its own.

She's going to be ok. Keep us updated on how she does please.

salts will make them more conductive. oil will insulate them. you might try a castor oil flush.

Well I thank you all, I have come to love this site and trust quite a few of you with what advice you give. even though I am more of a listener I am here quite frequently.
Well I have given her a castor oil flush (thanks Trapper!)but even though she is having a good amount of movements she is really holding on to those batteries.
I am so wary of her having more xrays, especially on her reproductive system, oh her tiny little body, but if she doesnt pass them at a loss of what to do besides counteract the effects.
I have been giving her baths with baking soda, acv and epsoms. She loves her baths!
Any ideas what would help to counteract the xrays in an eight month old?
She is in great spirits and is as much a monkey as ever (which is what got us into this trouble in the first place!)Yes she managed to unscrew the back off a toy and down 2 out of three batteries in a matter of seconds before I could get her. And yes at the hospital her nickname is the ENERGIZER BUNNY!
The only difference I have noticed in her is that her eyes are slightly bloodshot, seem to be turning slightly grey from blue and her nose slightly red.
Will keep you all posted
Thanks again

Well we went to emerg and one was about to pass but they were worried about the other one. Said we would be going to sick kids hospital for the surgery if it wasnt passed by this morning. I viewed the xray and it was way up in her stomach. Man they looked huge in her tiny little skeleton! About dime size but 5 times thicker.

Well I gave her more castor oil and a lot of water and lots of love. This morning she passed it. What a trooper! She has been crankier than normal (no wonder) but otherwise ok!
I just bought apple pectin this morning to give her for the metals,I noticed the batteries had some of the metal removed by her stomach acid, good idea Trapper! The apple cider would be great too..will get some tomorrow! Thanks.

It is great to have a support system like all of you. The little one is calling me...
Happy Halloween
