Well, Liam almost made his first trip to the ER. I know I keep typing that every time he hurts him self but he's gradually getting worse and worse.
Yesterday, while at Mark's parents home, he was banging on their storm door (which has glass on one part). Mark and I were packing up and had just headed out of the bedroom to find Liam (the other two were outside). As we headed out, we heard what we thought was Liam clanging around then shrill cries. Mark got to him before I did. He had busted out the glass on the storm door and busted up two of his fingers on his left hand. I was okay until we couldn't get the one finger to stop bleeding.
We thank God that Mark's brother is a vetrinarian and was able to help evaluate whether stitches were in need or not. We did the pressure thing and then bandaged it up. Right before we left, we looked again and it was doing good. It only started bleeding again after we took the gauze off of it.
Where he got the deep slice is where he bends his finger (on the pointer finger), so after getting home last night, we put a popcicle splint on the finger and used that all day today. It's healing very nicely and isn't bleeding anymore but he did give us quite a scare.
He has no qualms about using his hand all bandaged up! I said he was my daredevil!
