Prayers for Hannah, Please

7/15: Please pray for Hannah's finger to heal well.

Update 7/16: Hannah's finger looks good so far. We will assess again soon. We may be able to put comfrey on it in the next day or two.  We shared pictures with a nurse friend, and she agreed with our doctor friend. She gave us a few things to look for too. As requested, we will keep you updated.

Update 7/20: Hannah's finger did what everyone thought it would. The skin died and peeled off in one area. We are expecting the other to follow suit. We can see the comfrey doing its job. The new skin is filling in the area that was cut out very quickly, and it has no open areas any longer. Thank you all for the prayers. She just has to keep it covered to protect it while it finishes healing. 

Our more sensitive friends should skip the rest.

Hannah sliced her finger almost to the bone in a V-shape. We know from a doctor friend, and our experience with Bethany's deep V shaped cut on her toe, that stitches are probably not going to work because the flap of skin will slough off. We assessed her for full range of motion and are giving her both oral and topical herbal antibiotics. This probably freaks our "new parent" friends, but Clint and I have both had some medical training and a lot of experience with minor injuries. We will assess her injury again before bed and daily for a few days.
