2 weeks after smashing his fingernail with a hammer (the joys of remodeling) and after turning purple then blue then white it was barely hanging on. It also was looking really red and swollen (its really easy for a 21 mos old to keep his hands clean- NOT) I decided it was time to take him to the doctor. So Saturday morning we got to go see the doctor and he decided it was best to remove the nail! This involved a papoose (nice word for straight jacket), tape, hemastats, and more tape. So this is the picture (I didn't have a camera)... Jordan is put in this papoose and then taped in it so he 'doesn't break free'. Then the doctor scrubbed his finger with betadine and delicately yet very quickly removed the fingernail. He had to do it fast since the INCREDIBLE HULK was already turning purple and busting through the tape and velcro. The doctor then wrapped it with gauze, coban and more tape only to have us both turn away for a few seconds to see it lying on the floor. Meet Mr. Houdini. After all this he walked away with 2 lollipops and assurances he did very well. Now all we have to do is TRY to keep it clean and force him to take antibiotics twice a day for 10 days.
Lately he has also been into cats (don't ask me why- his father and mother are not fond of them). He signs cat, he found a little beanie baby cat, ask for his Cat book every night- Pickles, The Fire Cat, and loves the movie The AristoCats.
We are also 11 days away from due date - well see how close to due date we come this time. I've stopped working until further notice - I already miss it. We'll keep you posted.
