A Perfect Heart Shape Showed Up on This Girl’s X-Ray<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter the incident, Nash developed a cough, but Goddard just assumed he was catching a bug. As his cough persisted and he developed a fever, though, Goddard started to feel uneasy about her son's condition. She trusted her instincts and decided to call his pediatrician.<\/p>\n
Once she brought Nash to the doctor, the situation quickly turned scary. A chest X-ray confirmed that Nash had aspirated popcorn into his lungs."The body recognized it as a foreign object and put puss pockets around it," Goddard explained. "All the inflammation caused him to develop pneumonia in his left lung." The doctor recommended Nash get surgery to remove the debris.<\/p>\n
