My Baby Got an Owie

My poor little baby got his first set of stitches. Super sad. He pulled a thick glass candle plate onto his big toe and busted it open pretty good. He would not stop screaming and Doug and I couldn't get his toe to stop bleeding. Needlesstosay (is that one word??) I was starting to freak out a little bit. Here it was 8:00 at night, doctor's office and Urgent Care is closed so do I take him to the ER?





Nope! We took him to a friend from our ward at church who is a doctor and he cleaned him up and stitched him up less than an hour later! He was going to glue it but the bleeding wouldn't stop so stitches it was. Fast forward 10 days later to Sunday during church our friend took Joshua's stitches out. Just like that! We're so blessed to have such good people so willing to help. Now, the toe nail fell off and the new one's about half way grown in. The owie's all better :)


Now if we can just get him to walk on it!

Oh no!! That looks so sad on such a tiny toe! I'm so glad you didn't have to do the 4 hour trip to the hospital in the middle of the night!
