Is there a doctor in the house?

Last night, I spoke to a parent who started the conversation with "Did he tell you what happened to his horn?" That's never a good sign.

Seems as if little Bradley was playing his French horn at home and something sounded/felt weird. Somehow it was determined that PERHAPS a marble had become lodged in the instrument.

Mom is a doctor, so she took it to work. A gastroenterologist there used a pediatric endoscope to determine that YES indeed, there was a marble in the horn. A red marble to be exact.

After some professional discussion, a tech at the office thought it might be a good idea to use compressed air sent through the mouthpiece to try and dislodge the offending orb.

No injuries were reported as the marble shot out the bell and across the room.
