OUCH!
On Tuesday Dallin took a pretty bad spill in the parking lot on the pavement. It was really sad because Dallin thought he was having fun trying to run away from Mommy. Well, Dallin ended up tripping and falling and hitting his head pretty hard. I thought that was the only damage he had done, until I noticed that his hand was all bloody! Somehow his hand had gotten under him, and anyway, it ripped off his whole nail, even from under the skin, clear down to his top knuckle almost. It was nasty. Luckily Kris Radford was with me, (she's a certified paramedic now) and she helped me calm down and try to take care of his hand. We took him to the doctor, and they ended up shoving his nail back in, and putting a couple of stitches in it to keep it on and protect it from infection. YUCK. Tell you what, though, Dallin was a trooper! He did pretty well for having to go through that. It was hard for me to watch. I'm just scared because everyone tells me this is the first of many bad accidents to come! I forgot how dangerous childhood is! I'm just glad it wasn't worse.
NOT a happy camper

ugh! i am so cringing right now! that sounds terrible. poor little dallin. i hope he heals quickly.
Ouch is right!... I hate when things like that happen. It's SO sad. I'm glad he is such a tough little guy though. Darn it. I'm glad Kris was with you too, I would have been a mess! Good luck Dallin!
They only had pink gauze? That kinda sucks! Not to make light of the situation or anything, but aren't you glad it wasn't his middle finger? Sorry that he had such a bad fall. It isn't much fun watching kids go through their bonks and bruises. Glad he is ok though!
That's funny, we were thinking the same thing too. It would have been funny if it was his middle finger
How sad!
What a big boy. He can't be that old already that he is running away from mommy. Sounds like he handled it well. I agree with Amanda Dipo on this one, what is up with the pink gauze. Heelllooo!?
It was fun to see you this weekend. Hope Dallin had fun with his daddy.
Oh, poor little guy! So not a fun thing to go through for either of you. I hope it heals quickly!
That is so sad! At least they gave him something pink :) Poor Dallin
