The Evil Hair!!

My baby Noah after we left the Hospital
Eli after the hospital trip he loved it since he got passed around by all the nurses while brother got worked on!

My poor babys toe you can see the ring around it.


Look at my red toe!



Sorry so blurry its hard to get a pic with a wiggely baby!




Yesterday was one of the worst days ever! I experienced the terror of being a mom for the first time! I was at home with my little ones and they woke up from there nap I changed Elijah's diaper played with his little feet like I always do. Then I changed Noah I went to play with his little feet and noticed his middle toe was purple! I looked at it closer and realised it was a hair wrapped around his toe. I looked even closer and saw it was wrapped so tight that it was under the skin and was cutting into his toe from the top and the bottom it had no circulation. I ran to get some scissors and I could not even see the hair it was so far in I couldn't even get to it! Of cores I was alone and James had the car "this is why we need another one!" luckily my family's shop is down the street with all my siblings there. So I called my sister crying and she ran right over. We took him to the hospital. First I thought the emergency room I new it had to of been on there a couple hrs. because I changed him before his nap and he slept a couple hrs. I didn't notice it when I changed him then. So I was worried it cut his circulation off really bad and it needed to get off right away. My sister said we should try his pediatrician first. I called James and let him know what was going on and of coarse he freaked out! He was at an interview and I didn't want to bother him but obviously I had to good thing he was just getting done. "He got the job too" Any way he said he would be right down. We went up there I let them know what was going on and they got him right in. Dr Negal was not there she is there Dr but my sisters Dr. Duffy he was there so he came in and looked at his toe and said he could get it off. we went into a room and they had him on a table and I had to hold his leg still. Worst feeling ever when he sits there and screams his lungs out!!! I was a mess balling with him. I couldn't even look at his face I felt so bad. He got the hair out and pushed the top of his toe and it went white. Best thing I have ever heard! It means his circulation was getting back in there right away. The Dr said that it should heal well and he should have no scaring. They cleaned it out and put neosporn on it and wrapped it up. The Dr prescribed a antibiotic so he wont get an infection. James showed up after it was all over with good thing he is probably worse then me when it comes to them he would freak out if he saw his baby boy like that. The Dr said every thing should be fine. Noah was so good after he was smiling and cooin you would have never even new he was hurt. Even earlier before I noticed it he was happy and was acting like It didn't hurt him. Hes a little trooper! Now I look at there feet and hands alot every day for hairs I don't want to experience that again!!
