What happened you ask? I shut Andrew's door with Anna's finger in it. :-( Not very smart momma. When I couldn't get it to shut, I tried again! Poor baby didn't even squeak until the second time around. I had no idea her hand was anywhere near it. Back to the old,.. "She can't talk when its important." She didn't even utter a moan, until her finger was released and then re-squeezed.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!... (that's me). Anyhow, I was home with no car. I had to call my dad. He came and got me and Anna and took us to E.R.
Anna is ok. It is not broken. (they checked with an x-ray) The skin got "pealed" back from the top of the nail all the way to the first knuckle and the back of the nail popped up and off the skin. The other finger has a dark bruise under the nail. The skin on the other side of the finger is red, like a VERY, VERY rosie cheek and it's swelling quite a bit.
They said not to wrap it and to give her tylonal as needed. That's it. (other then to watch to make sure the bruising doesn't spread or get worse). (Lene, you won that one. :-)
Oh, I am going to have a hard time on this one!!! I can't even look at it. Other then being shaky and traumatized, she is not even seeming to act like it hurts. I, on the other hand, start hyperventilating every time I go to look at it. I had to sit on the other side of her at dinner (9:00pm dinner), just so I could eat.
Yeah, this aught to be exiting... Can't wait tell the first time I have to wash some sticky goo off of it.
I think it is partially because it brings flash backs of having my toe nail popped out of my toe. Man did it hurt. Although putting it back hurt worse.
I've got to get some sleep. Talk to ya all in the morning.

OUCH!
I think that every single family I know (including us) has had that happen to at least one child. Yikes I still cringe when i think about it. Dont worry she will forget about it soon. Dont feel bad it happens.
Take care

I had no intention of "winning". In fact I took great pride in not giving my two cents. It is a great thorn in my flesh to know my two cents will be heard loud and clear even when I don't speak it!!
Sorry! ;-)
I hope her finger is healing up, and your injured pride too.
Love you!

lene,
LOL, goofy, your always aloud to say what you think.
I probably still would have taken her to make sure it was x-rayed. It was a pretty nasty looking thing.
It still doesn't look pretty. It is healing though.
Hope all is well with you and the bunches.
