Woops!

Hi,

Day 75, and I made eleanor cry. Really cry.

I was clipping her fingernails this morning. Since sora was worried about cutting her, so I thought:"this is a job for daddy"

Also yesterday, Sora cut her toe by accident. But because of a buckle on the swing.

When i got to the thumb on the right hand, it was the last finger...
I clipped her skin at the same time.

Bam! Super cry, like supersonic cry.
I got some tissue and tried to stop the bleeding, but it wasnt working

I took eleanor upstairs (she stopped crying by this point)
We got a bandaid on it.
No good.
Still bleeding

I called J. Park MD, and he told me direct pressure.
Direct...
So we wrapped a paper towel around the finger and tried to apply pressure.

No luck still bleeding after 15 mins.

So we took off the towel, and just applied skin to skin direct contact.
After we did that, the bleeding stopped.

So, parents
1. don't freak
2. Don't freak
3. apply direct pressure.
4. Don't freak

If direct pressure doesn't stop the bleeding, then it's time to call the pediatrician.

after the bleeding stopped, we got a bandaid cut it in half and applied it to her finger.


I think I am more traumatized than her...
ttyl

As we prep for the eagles game, eleanor is ready...


GO EAGLES!
