Vada is such a trooper. She hasn’t complained about pain at all since we left the podiatrist. After her nap, she said she was fine to go to school for a bit, so I dropped her off there for a couple hours at the end of the day. She only cried when they wouldn’t let her outside to play with the other kids! She has been walking (running, even) without any problems. After dinner, she watched a show while her foot soaked.
It looks relatively better, but the end of her nail looks totally detached to me. I’m not sure what the podiatrist meant when he said it was still attached okay, maybe the sides and underneath?
After the soak, we slathered it up with antibiotic ointment and redid the bandage. We’ll see how it looks tomorrow…

Guess where we were this morning!
If you guessed the pediatrician, the x-ray lab, the pediatrician, and the podiatrist, you were right! Vada dropped a small hand weight onto her toe this morning, and it somehow pulled her big toenail out from the nail bed. I know ! Ouch!!! But after all that, the good news is that it looks like her toe is not broken, and no stitches or anything were needed. We just have to keep it bandaged up, give her salt water soaks once a day, and wait for her nail to fall off in a month or so. Lovely. If you’re squeamish, don’t look at the picture below…
