This has been such a terrible last few months for us. A couple of weeks ago DH lost his job and we did not see it coming.He worked there since he was in highschool,going on 16 years.Well we had to hire an attorney and started a lawsuit.Then on July 3rd my aunt Pat died unexpectantly at the age of 57 of a heart attack in her sleep.This has tore my family down ,we were planning our annual 4th of july family gathering at her house.
Right before the funeral we were getting dressed and went into the living room and there was a snake in our house!!! We were all so freaked out we stayed in a hotel for a few days (which we really couldn't afford) and still to this day we sleep in our zipped tent.
Next we dodged a deer and I busted the windshield and my head and spent the night in the ER with a concussion,
I had just said it couldn't get any worse and then it did. My huband was working on the pressure washer and was going to clean our front porch. His little shadow (our 3 year old) was handing daddy tools.DH had it fixed and was hooking up the hose.All of a sudden our precious baby boy clicked the on button.The pressure washer was a commercial one and had a motor and pulley.Our son must have had his hand near the pulley when he cut it on.It cut off his left index finger (he is left handed) right at the knuckle.It was hanging on by skin,it also cut his next finger to the bone and the next slightly.We rushed him to
our ER and they sticthed his finger back on and rushed him by ambulance to
Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital an hour away.Now it is just wait and see about his
finger.Children heal better and he has a 1 in 20 chance of his finger tissue
reattaching.If it does attach he will have to have surgery one the nerves in his
finger. Then again it may not take and just fall off again :(.
