This is a random post, but I wanted to say thanks for all of you who were concerned & caring about Emma, who added insult (smashing her finger in a heavy stairwell door jam) to the "injury" of having to leave her home & friends again ;) She was SO good about the broken finger. She shed many more tears about missing her Grammy, or her friends, or losing her sweet and much-loved cousin Elizabeth. But she wanted to show you all the anatomy of a lost fingernail! (She was actually kinda proud of the purple nail.) The gravel stuck inside after our trip to the beach never caused an infection, and by the time the nail finally fell off she had 1/3 of a new one already!
You could barely tell, once the swelling went down a little, that it wasn't just the purple nail polish Miss Jena put on her in the nursery ;)
This was later on in the peroxiding-to-fight-infection stage -- nearly off!

Emmy is excited that once her skin heals we'll paint the nail stub and her skin!
