OUCH!

The day after Brennan's birthday we went to Ryan's office for lunch, and while we were there, Brennan started to play with the universal gym in the back of the office. We noticed what he was doing, so we responsibly set the weights to the highest weight, knowing that there was no way Brennan could lift it. Peyton, observantly watched us move the pin to the heaviest weight, and noticing that Brennan was no longer able to lift the weight she assisted Brennan by pulling the pin out and long story short, the weights were set to 20 lbs. Brennan lifted and Peyton put her fingers on the weight plates, then Brennan let go. Poor Peyton had her index and middle fingers crushed by the 20 lb plate. 3 adults in the room, but nobody noticed what was going on. We scrambled over there, blood everywhere and Peyton screaming. Brennan took off to the bathroom where we later found him sitting in the corner. He was devastated, he felt so bad he just sat there until Ryan came looking for him.
Peyton fractured both fingers, right at the tips, she will probably lose both fingernails. They will grow back, however. The hand specialist said that the best thing to do is put some band aids on them and let them heal. We have to go back in to see him in a few weeks. They are looking much better now and she is actually using them a little more each day. We were blessed that it was such a minor injury seeing as though it could have been much worse.
