DD injured foot - A&E?

35 replies

Really hoping you all say no A&E as I'm completely alone with 3DC until tomorrow afternoon

DS1 opened a door on DD's toes, she screamed for a while but is now calm
A lot of skin has come off, there's blood everywhere and she's lost 2 toe nails
Got her soaking it in water atm so I can assess the damage and it's looking like she might lose another nail, it's completely black

I don't know what to do
Help?

Ouch! That made me curl my toes.
Hope she is seen soon Flowers

Nothing's broken or fractured thank God!

Just waiting for someone to come and stitch her up and dress it
She's had some gas & air and some anti-sickness stuff and they've put her prescription in for anti-biotics now so we don't have a big wait after we're done

The baby is not enjoying this afternoon!
Hopefully we'll be home for dinnertime, we missed lunch and DS1 is getting a bit hangry now

Good news, hope you are back home soon Brew

We're home, eating McDonalds, watching a film Smile

Just wanted to pop back on to say thank you to you all
I really wasn't going to take her to A&E until the opinion on here was so unanimous, and clearly she really did need to be there
So thankyou very much to you all Flowers

dirty fast food and a film certainly have great healing properties :o

Glad you're all back home (and nothing wrong with the occasional MaccyD). Hope your DD makes a swift recovery

And thank you so much for letting us know how you got on. I hate not knowing Blush
