Well it Happened. The thing I have been so scared of since Kaden was little. That cringe you get when a door is shut and there is a cry to follow. On Wednesday night when I was making dinner, I heard Jared shut his bedroom door and then Mason started screaming. I knew exactly what happened. At least I thought I did. Jared started yelling that there was blood running down his hand and arm. Sure enough when I picked him up blood everywhere. When I looked at his finger(middle, left hand) the tip was falling backwards. I grabbed a papertowel and pretty much was holding his finger on. I knew I was going to the ER. Now I am really starting to PANIC!
I immediatly called Troy and told him he needed to come home. 5 minutes later Bro Rose came to drop Kaden off from her girls activity night. I ran outside to tell him what had happened and didn't know what do.(by the way I was sobbing). I couldn't drive and I had no clue where a hospital was. He told me he would drive so that I didn't have to wait for Troy. My mom came over to be with the kids so Troy could go straight to the hospital. When we got there it was really crowed, but they got us in really fast.
When the doctor came in and looked at Mason's finger he told us that it was partially amputated, and he had crushed his fingernail. I felt so horrible having to watch him. They gave him a shot to numb his finger. Shortly after that they took x-rays to see if it had gone through the bone. When we got back to the room they started preparing to stich it back together. All things considering Mason did very good. The hardest part was having to hear him calling me when they were doing the procedure.
As it stands right now the doctor said that the blood flow was very good and he thinks there is a more than 50% chance that he will be able to keep his finger. His nail won't grow back normal if ever at all. On Monday we will call and schedule to go see the bone doctor and find out results of x-rays.
We are very thankful because we know it could be a lot worse. Keep him in your prayers. He is dealing with it very well. He plays as if he didn't even have a club hand. We love him so much.
To check out some pictures Kimberly was so kind to post some on her blog for me since I don't have a camera. We will keep you posted.
P.S. It is so sweet because at least once a day Mason will put his hand up to my mouth and want me to kiss it.

Oh my gosh Laura how horrible. I am so glad that he is ok. What a brave little man. I hate that feeling when you know it's a bad one. Thank goodness for Bro Rose and your mom coming so quick. I hope it heals well. If it doesn't you can tell him he takes after his Grandpa. JK
Wow....how scary! So how did he hurt his finger? What did he do to partically amputate it?
I wish I could be there to kiss his finger!! I miss my mason! I hate thinking how he's going to forget that i was his favorite aunt! We miss you!
His finger was shut in the bedroom door. It was the side of the door with the hinges. The hardest part of the door.
Oh Laura! That is such a hard thing to see your little Mason hurt. Grandma Weaver e-mailed and said all is well with his finger now, I'm so glad. How long will he have to keep the bandage on? He is such a cutie, he looks a lot like Jared. Tell all your kids hi from Aunt Becca. Love you guys. Miss you lots. Tell Grandma hi for me:)
I am so sorry. What a nightmare. I am glad that it is going to be ok now and that it is over. Thank goodness you have good friends and family. Miss that little guy.
