No Picture Today...

Well, today Emily and I had our firt emergency situation. As I was preparing her lunch, she got her index finger stuck in the lid of the parmesan cheese jar. I could not get it out. Todd was at work and I didn't know what else to try...butter was no help! Her little finger was starting to swell and turn a shade of blue. At this point she won't let me look at it. She is holding her hand behind her back saying "ouch, ouch...." Keep in mind that the lid is probably 6 inch in diameter and her finger is stuck in the middle. I call Papa Jack and he is on his way over. Well, I am getting a little nervous now thinking that her finger is going to fall off and I decide to take her to the ER to have them cut it off. So I get her loaded up and are on the way out of the neighborhood and Todd is pulling in, so he turns around and follows us. I then see Papa Jack and he too turns and follows me to the ER. Well, when we get there, Papa Jack has a tool and is able to cute it off. The lid, not the finger! He did this in the parking lot, and of course she is fine. She was extremely brave and didn't cry at all during this mishap. I too was very calm at the time, but thinking back now, going to the ER was probably not the best thing to do, because I doubt she would have lost her finger within the 15 minute time frame! So maybe I was beginning to panic. Thank goodness for papa jack. He saved us from a huge ER bill and we probably would still be setting in the waiting area if we would have went in. Besides that, we had a great day!
