What a day.... Tuesday we had a long list of things to do. As we were walking out of our house to get Annaka in her car seat the door to our house and the garage slammed on Annaka's finger.
It happened so fast that I could hardly help her, lukily it was only one finger and not more.
She had a bad cut and I just couldn't decide it would need stitches or not so off we went to the doctor. Poor Annaka was scared and it was bleeding pretty bad, but she was a trooper. They got us right in at the clinic and cleaned it out with saline. She had to have xray's done because her nail was already coming off so they were afraid it could be fractured. She haded every second of it, I have never heard her cry so loud! She wanted nothing to do with the lead apron they put on her and I. The radiologist had to go get help just to help me hold her down. When we walked out of the room Ally and Andrew asked what was happening to her because she was so loud.
No fracture though. But it was decided that she would need a couple stitches to keep it closed. They gave me some numming medicine to put on her finger and we held it there for 30 minutes. Then the time came.. Ally and Andrew were asked to wait in the waiting room and we started the stitches. Personally I don't think the medicine helped one bit because she was screaming so loud and to me it felt like she was in a lot of pain. But she made it and 2 stitches later and a million stickers we were done!
Its been 5 days and she is doing good, she will not let that finger be with out a band aid though at any time! Her nail is a pretty purple, and will probalby fall off eventually. If you ask her about it she will tell you "doctor" and "boo-boo"
Her are some pictures of her when we got home that day.
