We had another visit to urgent care this weekend. Caleb was playing with his cousin Emma on Saturday, she ran into the closet to hide and he blocked the door so she couldn’t get out. Emma got angry and shoved the door open, but Caleb’s toe got caught under the door and split it open. I couldn’t get the bleeding to stop and it looked pretty deep, so I threw a sock on his other foot and ran out the door to urgent care, leaving Isabelle with Christina.
At urgent care we found out that he had sliced his toe pretty good and had a cut from the tip of his toe to about halfway under his toenail. Since the area he cut was too thin to do stitches, they used dermabond to glue his toe back together.
Poor Caleb, he cried the whole way there and most of the time we were waiting just cried quietly with his head buried in my shoulder. He started to cheer up when the doctor was gluing him back together, he started laughing and said that it tickled (I’m sure that was more fun than stitches!). Afterwards he got a blue otter pop and a sticker for being so brave and even got to stop at Jack in the Box on the way home. An hour later he was running around the house like nothing had ever happened. Since then he has only complained when I changed his bandaid.
He had me tell Grandpa that he wants him to take all the doors off of his closet so his toes won’t get smashed anymore :)
