Flipper Hands Part II

We are apparently destined to have kids who dramatically injure their hands. Emma burned her hands just shy of 18 months. Now Kaylie, also just shy of 18 months decided to attempt something similar and got her own flipper hand.

We no longer have a fireplace, but we do have a paper shredder. It sounds and looks worse than it was. She did get her hand jammed in it while hanging on to a paper that was getting sucked down into the shredder. But it only caught two of her fingers which now have a 1/4-1/2 inch gash in them. Not deep enough for stitches but big enough to keep bandaged for a few days. And since toddlers don't keep band-aids on well, the doctor wrapped the whole hand.


But it did hurt enough that she has not put down her little pink snugly for a few days. :( The shredder now stay unplugged when not in use.
