Last night after his shower, Collin comes downstairs and says "Mom, look at my finger." And what I saw was a thumb that was twice the size as usual with a strange sore on it. So I pinched it a little bit and A BUNCH OF YELLOW PUSS COMES FLYING OUT!!! Not to mention he falls to the floor shreaking with pain!! So I call to Dan, and he proceeds to get out his trusty red first aid kit. Those who know Dan know that he has a strange obsession with first aid kids and band aids!! We get him into the light, and it looks like there is something in the sore like a piece of wood, or some other strange object. I ended up calling the nurse, and she tells me that she doesn't want us to wait until tomorrow for him to be seen by the doctor. So at 8:45 we treck it back to the doctor's office. While we are waiting in the little room for the doctor, Collin says "Hey mom, it's moving." So I look at it, and sure enough, part of it is sticking out. So I open the door and get the doctor, and by the time he gets to the room, the GIGANTIC sliver is sticking most of the way out! How he didn't know that he had that huge sliver in his thumb for two weeks is beyond me. Boys are definatly a different breed!! So they sent us on our way with some antibiotics and instructions to soak it until the swelling goes down.
Hooray for health insurance, you got a work out yesterday!!

SICK!
Wow! Three kids at the doctor's in one day! I don't think I've ever done that! Knock on wood!
Bradnon dropped a rock on his finger a couple of months ago. His fingernail turned black and then the fingernail fell off. It was really gross! So now he only has about 1/4 inch of his finger nail. LOVELY!
