The Weapon: some knife in Rob's tool chest
The end result....a few stitches to her thumb!
So the story is makenna came running in to the house yelling for me. When I went in to the bathroom I see that her thumb is bleeding really bad. So I hold pressure for a while. I send kyle out to the garage to try to find the knife she was talking about and in he walks with the above pictured knife. What the heck....anyways...she was lucky she didnt cut off her thumb! So I hold pressure to the point that her thumb looks blue and 20 minutes had past. I take off the gauze and it immediately starts bleeding again....ALOT. So I say makenna i have to look and see how bad this cut really is or if it is deep. So i look and she has this big flap all the way up to her nail that is really deep. So I decided that I am not going to be able to glue it back and off to urgent care we went. The good news is we got right in since she was bleeding. A few stitches later we were all done. She was a trooper considering the shots. I am just glad it didnt hit the bone. We are hoping the nail wont be affected since she did cut threw that a little. Fun times!

Ouch! The poor girl. :( We have never had any of our kids have to get stitches.. (Knock on wood). I only had them once as a kid. Quinn... I don't even want to know how many.
Oh man that stinks. She is brave! Once when I was somewhere around her age Connor hit me in the head with a golf club (accidentally... so he says). Story for another day but this reminded me of that so I decided to share. What was she doing with it?
EEK! Glad you are alright McKenna!! You've got a good Mama!! :o)
Ouch that looks like it really hurt. Awe kids.....such fun aren't they. I'm glad it all worked out.
Owie! I dunno if I'd have been as brave as she was!
Hey what are you talking about, changing my blog address? It has been the same since I started it on Halloween... I'm confused...
If you do the "follow this blog" thing you won't hafta worry about a link. :) (even tho I haven't changed it)
Kids! Glad she still has her thumb! What the heck was she doing? Ha ha!
She tells me that she was trying to carve something and it slipped. I have no idea...I was shocked when I saw how sharp it was though. Rob got all shopping happy one night on QVC and bought a ton of knives so they are everywhere. Such a dork!
This sounds like a story from my house!! I'm like you, I'll try to glue pretty much anything back together! I'm glad it wasn't too hard to repair. Good thing she has a quick thinking Mommy to take care of her.
