What a weekend...................................

[shane159]

So Saturday came and I thought with the good weather I'd give the CSL a good going over as I'm sort of thinking about selling it so thought it would benefit from this also the weather was nice so I thought I could make a day out in it on Sunday.

Anyway it was my Grandads 99th birthday party Saturday night so me the wife and 2 kids attended for the first hour only :(
My just turned 3 year old got his thumb caught in a fire door when it was closing this cutting his thumb nearly off to his first digithttp://www.cslregister.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif

My wife ran to me carrying him crying his eye out bleeding like mad, anyway we rushed him to hospital, I really didn't think there was much hope of saving his thumb but they xrayed him and said it would need a operation.:(

After 48hrs in hospital he's had the 2 and a half hour operation this involved reducing and plating a open fracture, repairing his ripped tendon and removing his thumb nail, he's now got a half pot on for 2 weeks till he goes back to the fracture clinic, but at least he gets to keep his thumbhttp://www.cslregister.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gif

So I thought I'd go for a drive today in my clean car got a few pics when I got back also one of my boy bless him.

Hey,

Nice jpg's mate tell the little man get well soon.

What digi camera did you use ?

[shane159]

Thanks mate, I used a Nikon D90 not had much experiance with it yet though.;)

[sailorbaz]

Awe bless the wee soul, I can imagine it was an awful time for the whole family and glad it looks like he's going to save the thumb, those fooking fire doors are down right dangerous. I remember having them on our first house and we fitted dampers on at the top of them to stop them slamming and things like this happening.

Loving the wee mans Pj's, CSL looks well too mate. Good luck a health to everyone.

Thank you mate, it was probably the worst thing I've ever had to go through, can't think of anything worse than seeing your child in pain.:bigcry:

Fingers crossed he will get full use back of his thumb.;)

[rstoughy]

Kids are amazing though arent they, if it were an adult that done that to their hand it would involve weeks off work and 100 excusses whereas with a child all they want to do is get back outside and play with their mates at the 1st chance.
Hope he has a speedy recovery and top pics of the motor :smokin:

[Streetwise Hercules]

Get well soon brave little dude.

I'm another one who prefers the OE grill but the car does look fantastic.

[shimmy]

Shane, hope the kid gets better quick and gives you no more scares!

And get the grill changed back (from an ex-black grill convert):thumbs:

[chrisburns]

hope the little man makes a good recovery, be sure to spoil him now wont you.

Car looks awesome, black grills & depo's are not something I had ever considered but it might take the focus off my mudflaps :thumbs:

15mm spacers?

[Spooks]

Poor little lad, he looks quite sorry for himself and rightly so...best wishes to him.

Cant think of a better ambulance though as in a CSL....just as long as blood doesnt get on the alcantara....!

Poor chap! Hope he gets better soon!
I'm a surgeon by profession but I hate having to work on kids (too soft!)...but they usually do far better than anyone would ever imagine!
Wish him luck! ;)

[shane159]

Thanks for all the comments guys, can't believe how well he's coping with all this, he's already adapted to having to have the pot on bless him lol.

I suppose flaps and grills are like marmite, I've thought about removing the grills a few times to be honest.:thumbs:

[shane159]
