1st trip to the ER

What better way to start a blog than a trip to the ER resulting in 5 stitches!? Apparently telling a one and a half year old they can't play with sheet metal doesn't go over very well. After Cache cut himself I looked at his finger, or lack there of, and knew it was going to need stitches. Rich was at work so I drove to Jill's home and she drove me to the ER! I don't do well with blood and tried to pass out several times. Thankfully Jill does well with blood and Cache! After several hours we finally made it home and this is what his finger looked like!





We were told not to immerse it in any water, which was great considering we were leaving to Hawaii 2 days later! However thanks to latex gloves and coflex(courtesy of the ER) we took it on the road.This is what it looked like after a week of fun in the sun!




We made it home from Hawaii just in time to get his stitches out. Two suckers and several shiny bandaids later,(the Nurse at the ER thought he was cute) Cache was stitch free.

Now, nearly a month later, Cache still shows everyone his finger and holds it up for pictures, and I can almost think of it without wanting to throw up or pass out! One ER trip down and I am sure many to go!
