Many of you have seen the updates/pictures on facebook- so here’s the story….

Patrick's Finger- The After

This is the after picture.

See, Patrick and is brother were wrestling in his bedroom…and he went under to hide under the bed, and got stuck on a big nail that was sticking out of the box spring.

Apparently we have industrial sized staples hanging out of his bed- who knew??

Well, we know now.

So Patrick’s middle finger got stuck on the staple.

And he was stuck to the bed.

Yes, STUCK TO THE BED.

I tried to pull his finger off, but I couldn’t.  Plus with all the screaming, it was hard to figure out what happened.

Daddy stepped into help – and ended up having to pull the nail out of the bed to free him loose.  But, the nail was still stuck in the finger.

I’m going to post the before picture- but I warn you- it’s kind of gross:

Patrick's Finger- The Before

Patrick's Finger- The Before

Moral of the story, nails are bad.

If this happens to you, don’t call 911 like we did.

Simply drive to the Urgent Care center nearest you.

They numbed his little finger and yanked it out in one piece.

After a little bleeding and cleaning out, Patrick is as good as new.

Well, mostly.
