I got a frantic phone call this afternoon from David at work - saying "oh god - I think I just broke Matthew's hand!" so I flew home! On my way I called the neighbor to go over to make sure David was ok w/both kids - but more so to remove Ari from any situation...
So...David got home and both kids were there becuase today is a Becky day - so the kids stay at the house. He was in the bathroom washing his hands and the kids love playing in the bathroom - but we don't let them. David just finished saying "Get out of the bathroom" and he shut the door. About 3 seconds go by and he hears a blood curdling scream - Matthew's finger is in the hinge side of the door! David opened the door - realized he shut his finger and immediately ran it under water. He said it was as flat as a pancake!
I came home and 3 neighbors were here and Matthew was calm - one look at Mama and he had a meltdown again! We called the Doc and I brought him in - just for a check. They said his finger tip is probably fractured, but there is nothing they can really do...just ice it and tylenol for the pain.
I'm not sure who took it worse...Matthew or Daddy! Daddy felt awful - and when I got home he was sweating!
