Just 30 minutes before the official end of the retreat, C went outside the prayer hall. I followed her to find all the other new moms relaxing in the sofa including D. I thought of joining them and sat with them. C veered off to the bathroom and was trying to open the door. Everybody was joking that i should go and help C. Suddenly, C started crying loudly. When I ran and saw, she had one of her fingers stuck in the door. When I took it out, the nail and the tip of the finger have been flattened. C was crying uncontrollably. Mary aunty came and applied ointment, and bandaged her finger. C was crying all the time. We gave her baby Tylenol. It must be hurting real bad and we didnt know whether we need to take her to the ER. Aunty told us that since there was no swelling, no broken bones. We were worried about the 4 hour drive back home too. C calmed a bit. D wanted to leave then and there, so that she can be home when C starts to cry again.
When we started driving, C was awake and was looking at the cows and bulls. Later, C slept some time but later, woke up and started crying. C said it was hurting, so wanted to sit with D. After a lot of arguing, C settled for some chips. It was quite surprising that C didnt cry too much. It sure seemed that the nail would have hurt more and C didnt show it much. Even after arriving at home, she didnt complain much, and slept thro fine. The next day her finger started looking alright, except for the nail. Hopefully it will become alright soon.
