So I'm folding clothes today in the middle of my living room floor around 2:30... the phone rings. It's the school. "Hello, Mrs. Gantt? I have your daughter here. She has a staple in her thumb." My first reaction is "Ooooh-kay." "I think you need to come get her and take her to the doctor right away."
I honestly wasn't thinking it would be too bad. I get to the school and see Briana she's got a big smile on her face. (maybe shock?) So I look at her thumb- and the staple is ALL THE WAY THROUGH HER THUMB! I actually saw the staple on the top of her thumb and then end of the staple on the other side of her thumb. Yowsa!
Panic set in for one second. So now I'm just trying to get out of there as fast as possible with her! Luckily enough the hospital is just right up the road. So into the ER we go. They plucked it out, gave her a tetina shot and a scrip for some antibiotics and we were out of there in 40 minutes! Amazing for an ER, isn't it? :) Anyway, Briana was such a trooper. She never whined, complained or cried! She did yell out when they plucked it out, but hello... wouldn't you yell too? :) I told her if she felt like yelling, then yell, dangit!
So that was our excitement for the day.

Ouch, how did she get the staples on her thumb? Luckly didn't damage the finger and it was luck that you can get out of the ER so fast.
I have the same question..HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???? Ouchy!
Holy cow! Owwwwwwwy! Glad it all worked out and quickly.
Ouch! I've had a pencil lead from an old school pencil get stuck in my palm and that sure did hurt so I can just imagine how much that hurt.
That's funny that I can picture you sitting folding laundry in the familyroom - just like the old days! So how in the world did she staple her thumb and from the fleshy part down? I'd watch that one - keep all domestic tools away for awhile! Funny story to tell though!
40 minutes isn't bad for an ER visit!!! We're all still waiting for the explanation of how in the world it got in there!!!
I'm glad that she ok!! How did she do that?
That is really crazy. I guess I would be in shock too. Then I think I would totally have to laugh at the whole situation.
