6 Months of bad luck???

Some could say that my little Aiden just hasn't had the best of luck in his short 18 months!! He has seen more doctors and had more hospital visits in the last 6 months than I have my whole life!! He always has some sort of bruise or bump on his head, and sratches on his knees! And occasionally I know exactly how they happened!! I have decided that there is just no way around it, unless I put him in a bubble!!



That preface opens me up to tell this mornings bad luck of losing a finger-nail!!!



Aiden and I were outside playing this morning, and he insists on being Mr. Independant.....he was riding his little big-wheel bike and decided to go off roading off of the side walk. Well, the bike tipped over and Aiden tipped over with it......I ran over to help him when I noticed that there was blood everywhere!! It took me a minute to figure out where it was coming from. He had ripped his finger nail off of his right hand birdie finger!! I immediately panicked and ran him inside...my first instinct...CALL RINDEE! (I always know that Rindee has probably delt with most possible casualties of a little boy....so she is usually my first call! And even though she probably thinks I am psychotic, she usually helps me out!) Since the same thing had happened to Codee not long ago, she knew what to do!!



I took him into Community Care and they took a look. They thought that maybe his finger was broken, but he was too worked up to take an x-ray, so they ended up removing the nail, cleaning it really good, and they bandaged it up so that it looks fairly rediculous!! We are supposed to take him back on Saturday for an x-ray. They also put him on some anti-biotics...because who knows what lovely things could have been on or around that rock!!






So, call it bad luck if you will, bad parenting if you insist.....dont' you think that its ironic that he has such cute little smile on his face when his finger is throbbing in pain, but he couldn't muscle through a 10 minute photo shoot yesterday!! STINKER!
