Brynn's Accident

Last week when we got home from the ranch, Brynn just about lost her finger. She was playing in the garage and got her finger trapped between the axle and chain on Adam's bike. It took a good 2 or 3 minutes to get it out (it felt like 10) because the bolts were stripped and we couldn't loosen them. Lindsay is holding her and I'm struggling to free her--it was just awful. There is nothing worse than your child going through pain. When we got her finger out it was flat. We rushed to the emergency room thinking that we lost the top of her finger. Luckily nothing was broken or seriously damaged. She got a stitch and a couple stickers. This was our first experience with something like this and I did not hold well under the pressure.

So glad she didn't lose the tip of her finger. Lindsay and I worried she would end up being a Seinfeld episode and no one would want to date her--"She had a nub for a finger."
