So we made our very first ever trip to the urgent care at Children's hospital last night. Fro slammed her finger in the car door and she did a very good job. I was originally going to wait for the morning, cuz of course it was after 5:00, but when we got back from the hospital after seeing Carrie and Brody I took another look at it and decided it needed professional help. So we hit the urgent care and it was a good thing we did, cuz she did break the finger, and got a very nice laceration under the nail. Poor thing was so scared when they tried to give her the shot to numb the finger. I had to practically lay on her to keep her still so they could administer the meds. They finally ended up putting in an IV and sedated her completely, which ment we spent the whole night at the hospital. I was good until I they started trying to remove the nail and had to fight her to try to keep her still. She did announce to everyone in the hospital as well as anyone within a five mile radius of the hospital that she hated the hospital and the Dr. Good thing the doctor didn't take it personal. :) The staff was so good with her, even after all her rants. I had put a Sponge Bob bandage on over the gauze to get her to the hospital and when they bandaged her up they didn't have any Sponge Bob bandage so one of the nurses got a Sponge Bob sticker, cut him out of the sticker and taped it to the bandage so she could still have Sponge Bob on her owie. Sorry no pic's, I was so tired when we got home today all I wanted was to go to sleep. We had to re-wrap it and I didn't even think about pictures. Anyway, we survived, and she has a nice bandage to show off to everyone for the next few weeks!

Ouch! That sounds painful! Poor thing! I would probably yell at the dr. if he wanted to take my nail off too! LOL!
