For the next two days, the child barely slept. The crying continued day and night. The parents swapped positions, carried him in their arms, and walked around the apartment, but to no avail. Fatigue mounted, and anxiety grew.
On the third night, the father sent his wife to rest and was left alone with the baby. He secured the carrier to his chest and slowly walked from room to room, trying not to stop. Over time, the baby’s cries became quieter and turned into heavy breathing.
When the baby calmed down a bit, the father sat up and looked at him closely. He noticed that one of his son’s legs moved normally, but the other was barely moving and held bent. This struck him as odd.
The father unbuttoned his clothes and examined his legs. At first, everything looked normal. Then he took off his socks and noticed one very strange detail
One foot was normal. The other was swollen, hot, and dark red. Between the toes was a thin thread, almost invisible. It was a long hair. Judging by the color, it was his wife’s hair.
It had wrapped around the baby’s toes and was tightly constricting the leg. Blood flow was cut off by the thin hair, and the skin began to heal over the hair.
The father woke his wife, and they immediately went to the hospital. In the emergency room, they showed the doctors the baby’s leg. The reaction was immediate.
It wasn’t colic.
The child was rushed to the operating room. The doctors said that any more time and the consequences could be irreversible.
The parents made it just in time. For an adult, thin hair wouldn’t be such a huge problem, but for an infant, whose skin was still very thin, it almost led to amputation.
