Aly's Toe. . . another injury

Well we were getting over the chemical burns on the hands incident and had another. Aly was playing by the fireplace and wanted to see if there was something in her stocking so she pulled on it. When she did the 4 lb snowman stocking holder came down with it and smashed her toe. She couldn't even scream, she turned blue and almost passed out. We took her to the bathroom to check it out and it wasn't good. We had her elevate it but we couldn't get it to stop bleeding. We wrapped it up pretty tight and put her to bed. Surprisingly she slept really well.

We kept it bandaged up and on Monday Shannon took her to see the podiatrist. Her sister Christi works at one in snellville and they looked at it for us. They took some x-rays and found that it was broken. They didn't want to clean it or touch it because at her age their is a good chance the nail will reattach its self so they wanted to let it do its own thing and heal on its own. We have to keep it wrapped with a band aid and ointment. 

She is doing pretty well with it, honestly better then I would be. It defiantly could have been a lot worse. I think if it would have hit in the middle of her foot it would of broken her whole foot.

I have a few pictures but they are pretty gross so beware, but Shannon took a few at the dr. so those are here too.
