Stitches update

Clementine's finger is healing nicely & the stitches have come untied. She started putting them in her mouth, so we trimmed them up. She is using her finger again & does not seem to be too bothered by it. The nail is still on & may just grow out. The ER doctor really did a good job, thank God he was as concerned about her nail as we were.

In stitches

Hopefully this does not become a trend, but Clementine has gotten her very first stitches. Wednesday Chris & Clementine came home from swimming & just as Chris was closing the door to the truck Clementine stuck her finger in the door near the hinge. It smashed the bottom of her finger & ripped the finger nail up vertical from the bed. The ER doctor stitched it back in place (two stitches) & said that hopefully it will hold in place long enough for a new nail to grow back. With luck & prayers she won't lose the nail forever.

She is doing very well. She is really good at not messing with the bandage or the stitches. We will be keeping our fingers crossed (Yup, that was an intended pun) about her finger nail though. :{
