Mike

Mike, our indefatigable and fearless leader, has been HAMMERED by St. Louis. Yesterday, he filleted his little finger with a saw – right through his glove. He wrapped it in plastic wrap and kept going (they’re trying to finish up the swing set). Then Matilde (who’s a nurse) took a look and re-bandaged it and told him he should get it stitched up. So he went to kids club (of course) and THEN headed to the ER around 9:00 pm. They did not get him in until 3:30 AM by which time he was exhausted and dehydrated. He ended up passing out and needing IV fluids and finally got out of the hospital 3 hours and 5-6 stitches later (6:30 AM). He ended up missing the morning’s activities and moving slowly (but still working) this afternoon. We’ll see if he ever comes back!!
