Not for the faint!

Why you should never stick your fingers in the door!

You might want to skip the next pictures if you don't like the site of blood. Can't say I didn't warn you.

Little Max got his finger slammed in the door. Now we have had our fair share of fingers getting slammed in the door. Some have even been so bad as to have the nails fall off eventually. This one certainly took the cake for us. Mika and her friend were trying to keep the boys out her room and her friend shut the door, and when it didn't close the first time before Max could even realize what had happened pushed the door even harder and then the screams came. At first I told him to calm down. I told the girls to quickly get me the first aid box (BTW best thing I ever did, created a little mini first aid kit from a Hershey Tin that sits in the kitchen were everyone can get to it. Looks cute and it out where I need it.) Anyway, while they were doing that his little finger just kept on bleeding. I finally got him to the bathroom sink to rinse it off to see where he needed the band aid and the water revealed a nail coming off as well as the top of the finger under the nail. That is were my jurisdiction ended as mother nurse and the ER kicked in. After 3 hours in the ER Max had 15 stitches put on his little finger and one X-ray showing a fractured finger. Poor little man. He got his stitches out yesterday Courtesy of Aunt Shirlyn who was working in the hospital yesterday. It still looks really gross and he will have to wear the splint for another 2-3 weeks over his finger.

Yuck.

Max was so brave during the whole thing and after they numbed his finger thought it was really cool watching them stitch everything up. Mom was quite queasy and had to keep looking away.
