GUTS and GORE

Since Halloween is around the corner I thought it might be appropriate to show a little "guts and gore." The queesy may need to turn their head! A week and a half ago the boys were playing in our neighbor's back yard when a wind storm began. Brig was hurrying to unlatch the vinyl fence gate and come inside. A gust of wind blew it shut splitting the fourth finger on his right hand in half lengthwise to the knuckle. I saw him crying and thought he had been stung by a bee, how I wish! We rushed to the ER and after some nasal fentynyl and a finger block he was feeling groovy and even joking the with Doc. Even the nurse in me was nauseous when the MD was making the two halves of Brig's finger "talk." After ten stitches, a splint for the broken bone and some packing so his nail will grow back we were sitting pretty. Dave came home from a business trip to California to a big surprise. Luckilly it is healing well and Brig is loving the principal and his teacher doing all his school work!
