I hope we have seen the last of Dell Children's ER for the year! Monday night Vivi was doing her usual inspection of things as I was taking out the trash and smashed her poor little left thumb in the front gate. After assessing a band-aid wasn't going to work on this one we headed off to the ER. After arriving at 7:45 we were "promptly" seen by the doctor at about midnight. She lost 3/4 of the thumb nail and had a pretty good gash on the end, three stitches did the job and she finally got some deserved ice water after all the hooplah. No food or drink until after they make sure the didn't have to sedate her to do stitches, no fun after waiting HOURS. We went to wound care this morning to change dressings and show me how to do it, SO EXCITED about that, as waves of heat pass through me every time I catch a glance. Hand surgeon to take a look on Monday to make sure all is well and hopefully that is it and it heals and crossing fingers that the nail comes back. Vivi gets a gold star for being a good little patient and taking care of the boo-boo, and maybe milking it a little bit too, but thats ok.
