Who knew corn could do that?

Thursday afternoon Auntie Karen took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch. While they were in the corn maze Naomi picked up an ear of corn and it sliced her finger open. It was bleeding a lot and dripping all over the ground. Since they were in the middle of the maze, all Karen had was a tissue that she tied around Naomi's finger with a corn husk. Thank goodness Karen is a nurse!

When they got out of the maze she put band aids on it. Later that evening when I took the band aids off it started bleeding bad again. So I bandaged it up again.

Well by Friday afternoon it was still bleeding. I called Karen and she suggested I take Naomi into the doctor. The doctor said it was a big cut. Not deep because it is at an angle. And since it is her pointer finger every time she tries to use it, she puts pressure on it and the bleeding starts.


They didn't want to do stitches so they decided on steri-strips.
