well we got to the hospital for 8am as instructed. dd3 was first on the list and should've been done at around 9.30am. but an emergency came in so she was finally in theatre just after 1pm. which was a pain as trying to stop a 3year old from drinking for that long is a nightmare.
her fingers have been cleaned up, nail beds repairs and nails put back in to act as splints (thats what i make of it anyway, not being a plastic surgeon myself). she has to go back to plastic surgeons next week for re-dressing and to check her fingers are healing ok.
she is also on a weeks course of anti biotics as she has 'open fractures' on her two fingers.
all this because she had her hand slammed in a door (nobodys fault, was kids being kids and an accident). i am now thinking those plastic concertina things that shops have on their doors (hinges side) should be marketed for home use. especially as the nurse said they have so many of these sorts of injuries coming in to be repaired.
