Most nights for us are a little crazy, followed by more crazy. Well, tonight we had finished up dinner, cleaned up the house a little, and we were settling in for a family movie night. I went to change some laundry, and while I was in there, Chet came running into the kitchen and grabbed a paper towel. I go over to see what was wrong, and he was taking the paper towel off of Colby's pinky finger. The finger tip was just hanging there. It was pretty dang nasty!!! Mom is not good at these things. Chet went out to start getting him in the car and I ran to get the neighbor girl. We drove to the ER, which I must say was really impressive! I don't know if we were a "priority" case or what happened, but they were moving. These are just a few shots from after the stitches were done. I wish I would have thought to take some while they were stitching. They swaddled him in this little blanket thing (made for that I assume) and Dad held him down. He screamed bloody murder the whole time, but now is FAST asleep in his bed with a sock over his hand. I had just told my home teachers Sunday that we do call for blessings whenever they are needed. We are not afraid. He was nice and came right over! Even though my baby cut off his finger tip, I feel so blessed for so many reasons. 1) The thought of where to take him or how to pay for it never came to mind. We live in America with great health care, and Chet and I are prepared for an emergency. 2) Chet is amazing!!! I love that man with everything in me. Great dad, great husband, and great man overall. 3) And most of all I am thankful for prayer and the priesthood that can calm me in my state of panic. Now that it's over, it doesn't seem as scary, but in the moment, I'm not going to lie, I was scared!!! I really do love my life, even if sometimes it gets a little crazier than crazy!
