Nail is gone

Maddy's nail on her big toe has been a little concerning for a while. Over the last few weeks, her nail looked like it had been banged up pretty badly or infected. The doctor wasn't too worried about - he said just to watch it. So we did.

Today, we picked Maddy up from school and Rita had cut her nail off. She said that it had gotten snagged on something and pulled it back from the nail bed. She said she didn't have a choice but to cut it off because it was causing her pain. I was glad.

When Jim brought her home, I noticed that the other piece of her nail was in a place that she could still snag it. So I had Jim hold her down so I could clip it off. The good thing is that she has another nail underneath the damaged one. She wasn't too happy about the process, but it's much better now.
