Phoenix finger fiasco

Yesterday was Phoenix's first concerning injury, from the back garden I heard the little one screaming, Teri rushed to the scene (the front garden) Where she could see that Feefee's mouth was covered in blood. When she carried her through to the back where I was cutting the grass to point out that her mouth was bleeding, I was bemused at why I was being shown this little smear of blood across her mouth.

"What you showing me for? Just go an wipe her mouth, she'll be fine"

30 seconds later and there was a even more dramatic yelp from Teri. Having cleaned her mouth Teri couldn't find a cut, but more blood was wiped across cheeks, forehead and it was dripping all over the floor. The yelp indicated Teri's locating of the injury which was her right pinky. At first it looked like she had lost the tip just from the amount of blood pouring from it. On closer examination I noticed the nail had been cut in half and the slice extended through the tissue to about the middle of the finger tip. Pretty nasty cut! The ring finger also had a blood blister which led me to believe that it had been caught in the slamming door (front and back door were both open) Although this does not fit with the fact that she was in the middle of the garden. We may never know the true events that day.

At the hospital Teri declined having it operated on in favour of the 'wait and see' approach which I think is best. Phoenix is fine now, in fact I think it has given her perspective. Now that she has experienced something worth crying over, she hasn't done it since...
