Zack stepped on something yesterday and it just started gushing blood and he was howling in pain, matt and I could see something black but couldnt get at it, so we soaked his foot and then it looked like the hole closed. So we took him to the ER up in Cambridge, because his pediatrician is in Fridley. They took xrays and it looks like he has a little finishing nail stuck all the way in his foot, I thought they would just numb it and remove it, but no they want him sedated and an ortho surgeon to remove it, but the surgeon must have had a Tee time today because he was making Zack wait until Monday to remove it, so they put him in a splint to prevent him from walking on it, which means 36 week pregnant Amber is carrying him everywhere. I didnt like their answer and so I am taking him to his doctor today to see if they can remove it now, so he can heal over the weekend. If they wont I will take him to the Unity ER anywhere to get it out. The surgeon wasnt even going to give him an antibiotic.
The doctor agreed with me though and I have him on one now, I think its dumb to allow a three year old to have any object embedded in the bottom of their foot for 5 days! Ahh, well thats whats going on now... The dumb thing about it is my house is spotless right now and we moved our bed to rearrange our room and we asked Zack to pick up all of his toys that were now in the pile of things that had been under our bed... dumb luck. Poor guy, it is really hard for him not to be able to walk ( he tries but falls and it hurts him you can tell) he is so use to running and jumping and playing baseball 24 hours a day that this is killing him. Wish us luck today.
