Sunday night I was getting Haynes out of the bath and noticed this on the bottom of his foot. I have not EVER seen this before and was pretty sure it wasn't a good sign. This is the foot that had stitches about 6 months ago, because he decided to smash a christmas light with his foot.
After visiting Dr. Stacy the next morning we quickly determined that Haynes has an infection in his foot because there are still 2 pieces of glass inside of it.
We had an appointment on Tuesday to see a foot doctor who was going to numb his foot and take out the glass...it didn't really work like that:-) This is waiting for our appointment with Daddy...everything (almost everything) is more fun when Daddy is around!
This is the x-ray of Haynes' foot. If you look in the middle of the bottom of his foot there are two small pieces of glass there, the largest being 6mm. We were super thankful that we found the glass, otherwise we would have had to make a decision without knowing the cause of the problem.
This is where it got slightly traumatic...mostly for Brian and me! After a 10-15 minute wrestling match while numbing his foot. We tried a 25-30 minute wrestling match again while the doctor and brian tried to find the glass. I think we all hit our breaking point about the same time and decided to stop trying.
Haynes is scheduled for foot surgery tomorrow morning at 7:45am. We are believing that the doctor will quickly find the 2 pieces of glass, Haynes will be completely peaceful throughout the procedure, and for a quick recovery!
*Just so you know...Haynes currently has a hole in the bottom of his foot, but you would never know it! He is running, jumping and playing just like usual. We wouldn't expect anything less from our tough little 3 year old!
