Kayden has had a funky toenail for a couple of years now. Prior to our move I took him to the doctor and was told it would fix itself in 6 months to a year. I was blamed for making him wear shoes that were too small... his feet grew from a size 7 to 10.5 in about a year. About 2 weeks ago his toe got infected under his toenail, his whole toe was bright red. A quick trip to a family Dr got us an appointment with a podiatrist. We had been soaking his toe putting some ointment on it, I thought we had the infection cleared up, apparently not. The assistant quickly froze his toe so he could get the ingrown toenail removed. The Dr took an xray and saw a bone, spur, tumor(not the worrisome kind)...under the nail that will need to be removed. Before I could blink they had the nail snipped out and wrapped up. Luckily I wasn't looking but I can still the crunch of the nail, it makes me shudder.
He also got his braces off...yippee...

No more braces....lucky! As for the toe, well, I guess at least you know now! Too bad I'm not there to witness the gore though.
