Invincibility & vulnerability

Vulnerability

At the full-month celebration of a good friend's baby girl, Joanie got two of her fingers (index & middle finger) on her right hand caught in a closing door.

As you can imagine, she bawled her head off, her bawling now forever recorded in video footage taken at the party. To be honest, her fingers looked in pretty bad shape, it looked like there was an indent where the door closed on her fingers, and even the back of her fingers were bruisedl. Good thing help was at hand and Dr Joce, our paed friend inspected her fingers and gave us some tips on bandaging them. 

On her advice, we brought Joanie to KKH's child emergency for an x-ray the next day. The child emergency unit is a really good idea if your child needs help beyond a common cold - you pay a flat charge of $98 (you can use your baby bonus card), and any procedures they deem necessary is covered in the cost - e.g. x-ray, urine test, blood test etc. 

Anyway here's Joanie waiting for turn at Triage...she doesn't look like her fingers are causing her any problems eh.

Long story short, taking the x-ray of her fingers took waaaaaayyy to long and a ton of unnecessary tears but at least we were assured that there was no fracture. *phew* Such silly scrapes these kids get themselves into...
