A Big Ouchie

Today we had an unfortunate accident. Sam's middle finger got caught in the door as I was closing it. No bones are broken, but the skin was broken pretty badly. He has 6 steri-strips holding it closed, and needs to wear this splint for a week. He was so brave, even the doctor commented on what a big boy he was. So for now, no swimming, sandbox or finger painting. I feel so terrible, and when I apologized to him (again and again) this afternoon, he just said "that's ok Mommy" and gave me a big hug!

Jen, from experience I can tell your pain is not so much less than his!

Good job, Sam, on being so brave at the doctor's office.

Oh gosh...how terrible. That is one of my mommy fears. It can happen to anyone! I wish him a quick recovery.

Oh, that hurts for both of you! So glad it didn't break a bone. This happened to one of my kids when they were small, but I can't remember which one.

Get better soon, Sam! I love you!

Oh, Sam! My brave little sweetpea! That is such a big bandage for a big boy. Do kisses make it feel better? I'm sending you a big one.
