Over the past three years the parents of 6-year-old Isaak Lasson have been taking their son to the doctor trying to figure out why their son struggles breathing. At night in bed the boy from Salt Lake City often gasped for air.
Pediatricians repeatedly prescribed antibiotics to Isaak, and then one wise doctor figured out that something was stuck in the boy’s nose.
Lasson visited a specialist who pulled a Lego wheel from Isaak’s nostril. The large plastic piece was encased in fungus, according to KSL.com.
“We think he bent it in half — it’s pretty flexible — and that it opened up once it got into his sinuses,” Isaak’s father, Craig Lasson, told KSL.com.
Now, Isaak is a new kid. He’s breathing easier and sleeping more hours. He’s bounding with energy and has a ravenous appetite.
“You ask yourself, ‘Am I a bad parent because I didn’t catch it sooner?’ But the doctors just kept prescribing antibiotics,” Craig said to KSL.com. “We just didn’t know.”
