Ouch

We had a great calamity Sunday morning while we were getting ready to go to church. Taylor was up on a chair in Drew's room and decided to jump off. However, his middle finger got caught somewhere on the chair (I still haven't figured out how it happened) and his fingernail was ripped right out of the nail bed. It was awful. His fingernail was still attached at the end of his finger though, so we left it there for the time being. He was one sad boy!! And we were sad Mommy and Daddy. So we had it all clean and bandaged but it got pulled more on Wednesday, just as we were pulling out of the garage to go to church. (the devil was really fighting) It bled and bled and Andrew and I both agreed we had to take the nail off or he was just going to keep catching on things and eventually would pull it off but with more pain than if we purposely did it. So Andew got the nail off and we got the bleeding stopped but it has been such a sad thing for him and for us to deal with. Has anyone ever had this happen to them before? Will the nail grow back like normal or if the nail bed is damaged will it not grow back, or maybe grow back abnormally? I know Andrew has lost a nail or two before but I think it has been from a hammer blow not like this.
