Instacare

Last Saturday, after a fun afternoon with the family to celebrate Ben's graduation, I was cleaning up and loading the dishwasher. Now I usually wait until the boys are in bed before I do this but I just wanted to get the load going, so the twins were toddling around and playing. Well good little Emerson decided he wanted to help mommy out with the silverware. After I told him no and moved him away, he came back. This time though he fell into the dishwasher and his hand connected squarely with a spatula with a serrated edge. I promptly saw blood and found that he had a nice size gash between is thumb and pointer finger. Being weak around blood I hollered for my mom (she is use to it since she is studying to be a nurse). She checked it and thought we should take him in to get it looked at. So we quickly bundled his hand up and left Oliver and Eli in the care of Grandpa (the perks of living with my parents), and off we went to instacare. After we got in the doctor looked at it and decided that gluing it back together was a good course of action, and so he did. He told us that the glue should stay in place for about 5-7 days and would fall off after it healed. They wrapped Emerson's hand up and sent us on our way. The next morning I woke up to Emerson's hand being bare of it's wrap and the glue not holding the wound closed. So now, with the $30 visit from the previous day wasted, we wrapped his had up the best we could, and let it heal the old fashion way. Now a week later he finally started to keep the bandages on, and the wound has finally healed and all is well again.
