I am not a drama momma

So yesterday was an event full day for us! I had my doctors appointment and had to go get blood work done. Then I had to take my mom out to run some erruns. Then Alex had counseling. Which I was really looking forward to because he has not been in about 3 weeks and needs to go! Well we get to counseling just Alex, myself and the baby. and check in. Luke likes to look out the windows so I asked Alex to lift the blinds up so Luke could see out the window. I was filling out a yearly survey! Anyway, Alex decided to continue to pull on the blinds and they fell. Luke started to cry, so I went over to him thinking he was just scared. When I picked him up I realized his finger was bleeding, so I took him into the bathroom to rinse it off. There was a big gash in his pinkie finger! I wrapped it with paper towel and told the receptionist we had to go! Now I don't do trauma; I freak out! I do not think straight! We just got new medical insurance and my first thought was where can I take him. The closes hospital is Kaiser, but I don't know if that hospital is in our network. Okay, I really do not care my baby is screaming and I am taking him there!I call my husband and he cannot understand a word I am saying because I am upset. I get across that I am taking the baby to the hospital and I will call him back. Well, then I have the insurance card to try and call to see if I can take him there and the card falls under my center console of my car and I cannot get it. At this point I am really starting to feel like I cannot handle this stress! So I call my mom and see if she can get online to find what hospital I can take him to. By the time she gets online I am already int he Kaiser parking lot, so I just tell her I have to go! I get him into the ER and within 15 minutes we are triaged. The nurse says she thinks they will be able to just glue him up and he will be fine, he can be seen in what they call the Medical Treatment Unit and does not need to stay in the Er. So she takes us to the MTU and we wait about 30 more minutes. Meanwhile I am trying to keep his finger from bleeding all over the place. I already have blood on my shirt, pants and arms, he has it on his face and clothes, Alex has it on him; we were all a mess! He gets called to the back and the doctor comes and looks at his finger. He says it is pretty superficial and he thinks he could put a couple stitches in, but that would be very invasive and not make Luke happy. He thinks butterflies or glue would be better. He decides on butterflies. It takes about three to wrap around his finger and then they taped his pinky finger to his ring finger. Luke is fine now and his finger should be healed up in about 3-5 days. The hardest part is keeping it dry and clean! He is a trooper and has not been messing with it. He is still able to play and use his hand, so he does not seem to mind. The picture is the after effect with it all wrapped up!
