What is wrong?

I was in the kitchen doing up my lunch dishes when all of a sudden some horrible screaming and crying came from the back yard. What was wrong? Did one of the dogs attack my children? Did they get into a wasp nest? What could be wrong? So I took off, only making it part way, the back door opens and Tanner and Alexis come running in screaming. There is blood everywhere, both of them have blood on them. Tanner is yelling about his thumb, Alexis is yelling it was an accident. All I could see was his thumb and it did not look good. I'm a person that does not handle emergency situations to well. Thank the Lord that Tim was here and had not left yet to go fishing. He got Tanner into the bathroom and starting to work on his thumb. By then I'm crying right along with Tanner and Alexis is still saying it was an accident and that she had blood on her, but said it is not my blood, it is Tanner's. They were in the back yard and Alexis tried to chop something with the meshette and got Tanner's thumb instead. Tim worked on Tanner's thumb and got the bleeding stopped and bandaged it all up. He wasn't to sure how deep it was, but thank the Lord it was not as serious as it could have been.






Here is a cleaned up picture of Tanner's thumb. It does not show the full affect of the damage.




Here he is lying on the coach with a bandaged up thumb. Tim put a couple of tongue depressors on it to keep Tanner from bending it.



Tanner has had a rough couple of days. Yesterday while Tanner and Alexis were playing (jumping) he got a black eye from hitting his head against her head. I did not know he had a black eye until he woke up this morning. He is actually proud of the black eye.




A little bit better picture of his eye.



Please pray for Tanner for his thumb to heal. This is a big concern to me and I don't like for my children to be in pain as it pains me.
