Poor Alex

Today while John was cooking lunch and I was looking for some fabric, while Alex was playing in the living room. He has been trying to escape out the screen door lately so I had locked it.

Well all of the sudden we hear this horrible scream and both John and I rushed in. Alex had gotten his right index finger stuck in the part of the door right by the hinges. After we unlocked the door and got his finger out, we noticed it was pretty bad. He had cut it pretty deep across his fingernail.

We took him to the urgent care and they gave him 2 shots so they could look at it. They then took some xrays to make sure the bone was not shattered, which it wasn't. Then they started to stitch it up. They had to give him another shot because he would cry whenever they would poke it and pull his finger away. When he kept doing it they decided to put him on this board that had straps on it to hold him down and then they held him arm and hand down. They had to do 4 stitches and gave us meds to give him so it doesn't get infected because it was really deep.

He is doing pretty well now, but the shot is still working. I hate to think what he will be like when it wears off.
