This is her finger at the end of the day. Her finger is so swollen. Painful, and the infection is twice the size as it was in the morning. This picture doesn't even do it justice.
Hannah was in pain. Even though I told her that we would have to go to the hospital if she won't let us take care of it, she wasn't letting us do anything. Even reminding her how awful her hospital stay was had no effect. Even telling her that her finger falling off a great probabilty- nope, no budging. Her finger was getting noticeably worse by the hour. What is a parent to do? We drug her. Benadryl is a parents dream in situations such as this. Along with some Tylenol, we hope it will help her pain.
Here's Breck Trying to do his best to show Hannah that it doesn't hurt to poke your finger.
Here's Hannah trying the needle out on a normal finger. I even let her poke my finger.
She's taking a 'stab' at her puss-filled infection. Sounds so awesome right? Not happening.
She was trying to be brave. She tried. I can't blame her. I read a book to her after she's exhausted from crying her eyes out. After she fell asleep, Aric comes in to do some minor surgery and open the thing up.
This morning Hannah showed me her finger and it has greatly improved. It has drained, and her finger isn't twice the size as normal anymore Looks drastically better. Yeah! Sometimes parenting isn't a pretty job.
