Doctors at their local emergency room looked at the X-rays taken of the toddler and saw two magnets stuck together in his bowel.
Lawyer said they came from a succulent garden made of wine corks that hung on the refrigerator using magnets. She said two extra magnets for the garden slipped down the fridge, according to KCNC.
The magnets caused four holes in his bowel, Dr. Sarah Lai told the television station.
She repaired one hole in Izzy's small intestine. She also had to remove part of his small intestine and part of his colon, KCNC reported.
Lai said she expects him to be fine.
And this isn't the first case of a child swallowing a magnet that she has worked on recently. She says she has already treated three cases this year.
The Lawyer family is now telling parents to get rid of the small magnets, so what happened to Izzy isn't repeated, KCNC reported.
