So... First let me say it has been a tough week. I was sick all last week. Then Annie and I ate some bad chicken and we were sick together. Today was our first good day of feeling fine. We were so thankful and ready for a 'normal' week. Ha! Well, we were watching television... The Biggest Loser if you must know, and we hear a scream from the school room where Annie and Alex were watching a cartoon. We run in there to find out what happened and find Annie on the floor with a very ugly, bloody toe. Her toenail was almost all the way off, however I couldn't quite get it off myself. So.... off to a Dr. friend who lives just 10 minutes down the road.
So this is what it looked like when we found her, but worse. I placed the toenail in the right position to cover it until we got to the Dr.'s house.
That is her toenail in the tweezers.
Our brave little Annie waiting for this thing to be over.
She was a little unsure about what he was going to do to her. But it is two of her best friends in the world's father so she trusted he wasn't going to hurt her. Of course he loves her as does his 19 and 21 year old daughters. (Those are the best friends!)
This is what it looked like afterward! We had to decorate her toe to make it look fun!
Resting at home after our rush to the Dr.'s house.
The culprit. How did it happen? Well, Annie was trying to get a blanket that was in a corner of the room. I use this blanket to lie on when I am working out. Underneath that blanket was this 10 lb. weight. When she pulled the blanked down, off rolled the weight. Annie suggests that we now leave the weight on the floor, I agree! Blessings.... NO broken toe/foot! A Dr. friend who is a Christian man and would do anything for Annie. He didn't even want to charge us. He gave us medicine and everything we needed to fix up her toe and we gave him about $8. We are blessed! Annie is now sleeping peacefully and can't wait to watch her new toenail grow! We will just have to work this into homeschool and figure out just how a nail grows and how long it takes and all of that good stuff. It could be fun! Please pray she has no infection and that she will feel fine tomorrow as well. Love to all! Missy
