Wednesday before the County Parade was supposed to start I was folding clothes in one room when the two little ones where playing in another. All of the sudden Olivia did the loudest death cry ever. When I went to pick her up I noticed her pointer finger was bright white with no blood/circulation going through it. Luckily Molly was over at my house because I just grabbed the keys and ran out the door to my moms. When I go there she still didn't have any color to her finger and I had a minute to calm down and notice that her other fingers (not the thumb) were swelling and had cut marks on them, so I came to the conclusion that they were slammed in a door. My mom and I quickly learned that the Dr. were at lunch and regardless of how loud your child is crying if the Dr.'s are in the building but eating their lunch they don't come to help until their lunch is over! While waiting color started to come back into her finger, but she was not letting up on the cry at all, it was heart breaking. After waiting twenty minutes they took us back and got an x-ray on her fingers. They were not broken the tissue was just swelling quickly. So they put a splint on her hand that she had to wear for a couple of days. After the radiologist read the x-ray he said that we would have to come back this week to get it re x-rayed once the swelling goes down to make sure there wasn't a fracture. Her splint is off now. I think her fingers are fine, but I guess we will make sure later on this week.
