McCance's Finger Part II

McCance's smashed fingernail is nearly gone. He's already started to grow a new one. The old one continues to hang on for a bit longer. The finger does seem to be infected by the cuticle, so we might have to see the doctor yet. He's pretty fascinated about how his fingernail can bend backwards, but traumatized to hysterical about hydrogen peroxide foaming on his finger. We resorted to triple antibiotic instead. Again--these photos aren't for the faint at heart.



n-UPDATE--His nail fell off tonight. He was hysterical and wanted to glue his fingernail back on. Goes to show that a 3 1/2 year old is not truly logical since Scott had told him for days that it would happen, and he even talked about it happening. But when it did, it was traumatic.

We're going to have Dr. Baker look at it tomorrow. It's very infected, and he's concerned it might be cellulitis and need an antibiotic. (Thank you so much to Aunt-Dr. Stephanie!)
