TLC casting call - children who have swallowed foreign objects

We received the following request for participation in a TV show by The Learning Channel (part of the Discovery Group) for parents with children who swallowed foreign objects. Please respond to Mike Mathis Productions directly. (related article on DIYFather.com)

My name is Jon and I’m a producer with a one hour documentary for TLC (The Learning Channel). The scope of the show deals with young children who have swallowed foreign objects (pennies, buttons ... anything that is not food)… and were taken to the hospital to recover.

What are we looking for? Parents who are willing to share their story on television. So if you or someone you know has a story like this, let us know!

Please email a brief outline of your story, your contact info, and any questions you might have about this program to our Segment Producer Megan Reeves at megan AT mikemathisprods DOT com .

Thank you so much!

My daughter swallowed a

My daughter swallowed a marble while she was still our foster child. She almost died, the medics got there in time. What a story!

My daughter swallowed a

My daughter swallowed a penny 7 days ago and has been to an urgent care and a prestigious Children's hospital where I spent 7 hours and they refuse to remove it. My daughter has a stomach ache and sore throat (from possible acid reflux) Knowing that pennies are now made of zinc and when they are stuck in the stomach can create a toxic gas and cause ulcers, how can they leave it there. I am told I have to wait 4 weeks before they remove it, even though she is in pain. What is wrong with these doctors? Not enough money from an endoscope? They want the $$$$$ from having to repair a hole in her stomach???
