Fingers Clamped!

OMG!  Most of the times, Renee would wait for us to get the car door for her, only on some occasions will she do it herself(esp. this BM cos its doors r heavier than the V's) and what happened today, was the result of sucy very occasion!

Having woken up early to finish up the birthday card she did for her aunty Elsie, she was very tired and fell asleep on the way to her violin lesson.  Her classmate phoned but papa told me not to wake her to let her recoup some sleep.  However, when we arrived downstairs the teacher's block, unlike most times when she napped in the car, she opened the door herself today(she'd normally wait for us to get the door for her). Probably still feeling sleepy, she might have leaned against the car near the door and the downslope condition of the road could have caused the door to close.  What's worser was that this car is equpped with automatic suction lock catch and as a result, Renee's fingers got clamped by the door!  What was meant as a safety feature(in case doors were not closed properly with children in the car) could also backfire on situations like that...

Papa had carried Rachel up from the car seat and I've gone over to take over since I have to bring both of them up to the teacher's whilst he park, then suddenly I heard Renee screamed "Pa Pa!".  The sight of her hand clamped in the door nearly caused my heart to drop and ached sooo much  when I saw how 'flat' her fingers had become.  Of 'cos she cried and silly her even apologised, aiyoh...  that's just her...  She must have been in such great pain and Papa 'scooped' her up immediately to comfort her, then, he hurried up to inform the teacher of the accident and have the lesson cancelled.

Remembering the AMK community hospital, we drove over but it's changed to a Thye Hua Kwan Hospital and we had to drive over to Khoo Teck Puat hospital where she had an X-ray done.  Luckily, thank goodness, there's no fracture found and we were recommended a lotion by the chinese physician when we went there for their follow-up check up later in the evening.

Even the teacher was worried/concerned and phoned us up shortly to check on her condition...  He too, was shocked when he was first informed of the accident and had immediately asked how many fingers were affected and must be disappointed to learn that she's given MC excuse from writting for the next 14days...(If writting is a problem, then playing violin would be tougher, haiz...)

I hope Renee's fingers will recover soon.

(Meantime, mummy's being blamed for not getting the door for her... ^-^" )
