Our First ER Visit....no fun!

On Sunday, Josh was making hummus and cleaned out a can of chick peas and set it on the counter to go out to the recycling bin.  Before we knew it, Jacob had stuck his hand in the can and pulled it back out.  In doing so, he managed cut off the entire finger print area of his index finger.  I have never seen so much blood before!  We scooped up both kids, dropped Lilly off at Nana and Papa's and we rushed little man to the ER in Niles.  He did such a great job and was such a trooper...so much better than I ever thought he would do.  Since it was basically a circle cut out of his finger, they couldn't stitch it up or anything, we just needed to bandage it up.  Needless to say, Nurse Christy made her clinical debut and learned to tend to his poor little finger.  He's doing really well at this point, proclaiming "Look Mama, I made new skin!"  Here are some pics of the crazy bandaged finger:(
