Blah I'm so tired today - I spent most of the night in the ER with kid who dropped large glass table on her bare foot and made a bit of a mess of things :P Now going back to Urgent Care for more "Urgent Care" :P
Thanks all - doc says that it's broken in two places but not shattered thank heavens! She didn't want to put in stitches right now - she pulled it together with butterflies and we'll go back tomorrow and have it checked. But I don't think that is going to work already pulling out :P Also funny little boot thing to protect the toe - pictures later if I can talk her into it LOL Oh Ortho appt latter this week to make sure all is well Whew what a day.
