Re: Tori's finger bleed

[Guest guest]

glad you were able to get the reassurance that there is nothing SERIOUSLY

wrong with Tori - altho the trauma of continuous bleeds is issue enough!

Liz, I am so glad that Tori is going to be okay. Why do you have to see

a plastic surgeon? Why did they not just stitch her finger up? Cyndi

It sure sounds like Tori has gone through alot. I hope her finger

heals quickly. I had a situation like that with a little pinky toe..

I never knew it would cause so much problems..in that case they just

let it heal to a certain extent..then did some shallow skin grafts to

cover it and close it... so I always have a little joke to someone

that says " Tell them to kiss your 'rear end' " I have to come back and

say .. " let me take my shoes and sox off first !! Sometimes it helps

to have some humor involved in not so humorous situations.. I hope the

best for her and family as you all go through this with her.

I personally know how it feels (as I think just about everyone does

here) to watch your child in pain - it's not fun at all...it's as if

you can feel it yourself. And that.. is Love.
