Story of the Toe

Sorry I failed to tell you all what actually happened with the toe. He was standing on a metal folding chair. The chair started to tip and on Issac's tumble to the ground his toe got caught in the folding action. It ripped from the bottom of the toe up causing the gouge below the toenail and most of the toenail is loose, minus one little corner holding on to dear life. This picture was taken before bedtime on Monday night.This picture is Tuesday night. He let me bath him and the toe. So it is much cleaner and scabbing nicely. The gunk has dried almost helping keep the toenail attached. Although I think it will still come off. See how purple the tip of the toe is from bruising. The underneath side is a much worse horrible shade of purple and green, the swelling is slowly going down, but it is still pretty big compared to his other big toe. He'll now walk if I hold his hands like you do with a baby on his one good foot and this foot curled and walking on the side. Still no playing. Sad day for Issac.

Ooohhhhh, that looks terrible. It looks like a cataract. At least he's trying to walk though, I feared for atrophy.
