The hair and the toe

Conference weekend, Braydon had a potentially dangerous condition: He had one of my hairs wrapped around his little toe. Luckily Kylee noticed it, so we could get it removed. The hair had wound itself so tightly around his toe, that it was creating a turniquet around his toe. It was so swollen, that we couldn't get to the hair--it was too deep. We had to take Braydon to the ER. They said that they had seen this before, and babies had even lost toes, fingers, and other appendiges before. We were lucky that we noticed it in time. It was so weird! The pictures were taken about an hour after the doctor had removed the hair, and some of the swelling had gone down. Braydon's toe is back to normal now. This is just a work of caution to all you moms out there: check your kids toes for hairs--they can be dangerous!
