It was Little Man. He ended up spearing the palm of his hand. He cried for a long time, poor baby. There was some bleeding, and some swelling, but we opted not to take him to the Dr. Upon close examination it appeared to be not that deep and we cleaned it out really well with hydrogen peroxide and put a bandaid on it. With the potential of unemployment looming again, I am once again questioning every single purchase! 3 days later and it's healing nicely, so I think we made the right decision.
If it makes you feel any better, Grant fell on a pencil on his knee and the lead broke off in his skin and we DID take him to the doctor and she cleaned it and put a band-aid on it and said the lead will either come out or it won't. So I, for one, think you made the right decision. :-)
ouch!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the injury wasn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteOh no!
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound good. Was it one of the kids or was it you?
