Back to the ER
Wyatt got his finger shut in the bathroom door (hinge side) yesterday. I was home with Kylie, Dayne and Wyatt; Bryce was at a friends house and Rich was on his way home from Monroe, LA. Two good friends, Tanya and Angela, came to the rescue, along with a fire truck. The paramedic said to get him to Children's Hospital. So Angela took care of Kylie and Dayne and Tanya drove us to the ER.
Wyatt's finger had been 2/3 of the way severed at somewhere around his nail bed area, but the bone was not damaged.
Anyway, seven hours (thanks to the graham crackers he had eaten), anesthetic, three sutures, replacing fingernail, and a full arm cast later, Wyatt is doing great! We're supposed to keep his arm elevated today as much as possible...yeah right...it's at a pretty good angle when he's in his high chair, but he'll only eat so many cheerios at a time!
Today we are trying to entertain him so he won't walk around so much. I don't think he can hurt his finger the way it's bandaged up, I'm more concerned of him hurting someone or something with his cast if/when he falls.
Well it didn't take very long...he's already busted his lip this morning...you wouldn't know it though...he's up and going again!
