With 15 down and only 5 left to go I grabbed the her left foot and started cutting her nails. First the big toe and as I was working my way down to the pinkie she just keep getting more and more restless. She was kicking and screaming I thought she was just tired of me cutting her nails little did I know that I had placed a gaping wound in her big toe that was bleeding out and could've required blood transfusions. We are lucky we didn't loose a toe! The size of that wound, I may as well have cut her toe off! She never cried. I, of course, feel terrible to have hurt my daughter. I managed to patch her up with a band-aid. I think she'll live but I am not so sure I will be cutting her nails again in the near future. Maybe her daddy can take over for a while, at least until I get my nerve back.
This cut just keep bleeding. 36 hours later and we are still dripping blood. Maybe we will need a transfusion after all! She won't keep a baind-aid on either! Typical baby!
ReplyDeleteMom Bartlett- Next time Aliya needs her toes trim - we all should go to Wal-mart
ReplyDeleteZahra- That sounds like a great plan mom!
