Smashed toe

Per usual you have an injury. This was a good one. You stepped up on the lower ledge of our barstool and it tipped it over. The padded seat landed right on the cuticle of your right big toe, right where the nail meets the skin. You cried i stantly and right away i saw it turning purple and the tip forming tons of tiny red and purple dots. I knew it was going to be bad. We iced it and i gave you medicine for pain, but you refused to walk on it all night. The next day you walked on the outsode of your foot. And for 4 days you didnt wear shoes. Mikeys wedding was a few days later so you walked down the aisle barefoot bc we still couldnt get itin shoes   without it hurting. It even forced ua to buy your first ever pair of flip flops! Id acoided them until now bc they look so uncomfortable for little toes and feet. About two weeks into the injury i was able to drain the blood inyour  sleep, it had healed enough that it wasnt as painful and the blood had actually pooled in the cucticle. It had apretty good  progression and today, several weeks later, the nail is more notmal appearinf but  it's about at the point of falling off completely. Im babying it so that you hopefully dont have ongoing issues with it. Ive kept some photos of the timeline... They arent pretty though. Poor boo boo. 

Update: while visiting pappy the toenail came off all on its own! We found it and the next morninf the toenail fairy :) left a gift for being so brave!!
