What a HUNK!

Soooo yesterday was intresting. Skip had to work, (his boss told the homeowner that Skip would work all weekend to get the dock done...)and ended up getting a big sliver, really deep in his finger. He tried to get it out but couldn't even see the end of the sliver. He had gotten it around noon and by the time he got home his finger was swollen and he couldn't bend it. He had stopped by a walk- in clinic on his way home and they wanted $300 bucks to take it out (oh the life of no insurance). I called our friend Crystal (an ER nurse) and she told us to come over to the Hospital, that one of the doctor's would take care of it. What a huge blessing! It's hard to believe that there are still nice people to be found in South Florida! We dropped the kids off at our good friends the Wilson's and headed to the ER. It's a good thing we went because there is no way we would've ever gotten that sliver out on our own. The had to slice Skip's finger to get the sliver out!Honestly you can't really call that a sliver- that's a hunk of wood! Skip is doing well but has to be super careful to keep his finger clean and free of infection. Never thought a sliver would cause a trip to the ER. Thank goodness for friends and doctor's willing to help out (for free!)
