After Olivia's trip to the ER with a busted up finger, I emailed Maytag to complain that Olivia almost cut her finger off on their oven. I also included a little side note on how Tim used the self clean feature with the rack still in the oven and now it won't slide in and out. Well, finally they called and they are actually sending the Maytag Man out to look at the oven door cut-outs and try and do some sort of retrofit to stop other babies from cutting fingers off. All I really wanted was a new rack...but I guess if I end up saving baby fingers, I guess I'll take that instead. Let's just all hope that nothing can be done to our oven and they are forced to supply me with an entirely new kitchen! A girl can hope, right?
ps. In case you were wondering, Olivia's finger healed up just fine. I think she was getting dependent on the bandaid being there. To bad she would rip them off and then realize that she wanted it to still be one her finger. Every morning I was woken up by Olivia in her crib, apparently having just pulled her bandaid off, yelling "Ouchie, ouchie, ouchie".

Olivia's first trip to the emergency room
Sunday night was about the coldest night ever. We were making dinner and Olivia walked up and stuck her finger into a little decorative cut-out that is on the front of our oven. She'd done this a few times months ago and gotten a little cut on her finger. Ever since then she points at the openings and says "No, Ouchie". Well, on Sunday she apparently forgot her motto and her finger went right in there. I think she instantly realized her error and looked up at me. I tried my best to get her finger out of there unscathed, but it wasn't to be. She had a pretty deep gash on the bottom of her finger. After me almost fainting at the sight of baby blood, I convinced Tim that we should take her to the ER for a look see. We couldn't get her finger to stop bleeding, so we all bundled up and drove about a mile to the hospital. Once there, the doctor decided that they could just glue the wound together and were trying to figure out how to get an adult sized finger splint onto a baby. She was supposed to keep her finger immobilized for 5 days once the glue was on there. Finally they decided that an over sized bandaid was stronger than her finger and the procedure was on. We told Olivia that the doctor was going to fix her finger, and she actually agreed! She laid down on the bed and said "Fix it". I was quite amazed at her composure. She just laid there and let the doctor put the glue on. What a good girl! So we are onto day 4 of the glued wound and I have to say, her finger isn't the cute little cutie pie baby finger it used to be...I have a feeling that along with her first trip to the ER, Olivia also got her first scar.
