Totally Stuck!!!

So today was quiet the eventful day. It started off when I heard Mason calling to me and sort of wimpering. I went in to see what the matter was and found this site.

This is a little bunt pan that came with his kitchen set. Apparently he was in his room just playing a way, cooking and such, when he stuck his finger in the middle and then couldn't pull it back out. I tried to pull it out as well, but it was really stuck. I smoothered his finger in lotion and tried again, but no luck. Every time I tugged on it he would scream in pain. I decided I need to call Drew and see if he had any suggestions. After getting a hold of him he told me to try soap and cold water. Still no budging it. This happened about 10:30 am. after trying for about an hour and a half, Drew decided to come home and see what he could do. He made it home at around 12:30. He tried and tried also. He even tried to cut the thing, but it was made out of really thick metal and we just couldn't get through it. By now Mason is to the point where he doesn't want anyone to touch it because it hurts him so bad when we tug on it. At this point we didn't know what to do to get it off so we decided to take him to the fire department that is just down the street from our house. The first guy that looked at it said to take him to Kosairs childrens hospital and they would probably have to have a surgeon cut it off. He said it was just to swollen to pull off at this point. Then a paramedic came and started working on it. Mason is still in his car seat in the car right now and this guy is tugging and pulling and doing everything he can to get this thing off. Mason is freaking out. Kicking, screaming, trying to bit the guy. It seriously was so traumatic. I was almost in tears because it was hurting him so bad. The got some Pam cooking spray and sprayed that all over and kept pulling. After about 5-10 minutes of pull on his finger, it finally came off!! I was so happy that it was off, but then I looked at his finger, and it looked awful. I wish I had my camera at that point because it was as fat as a hot dog and all sorts of different colors. They told us that we still needed to take him to the ER and have it looked at, so we drove down town with Mason crying the whole way because he was in so much pain. So after getting ex rays and having a few doctors and nurses looking at it, they decided that it was okay. Nothing was broken and they expect the swelling to go down. After 4 hours in the ER, we finally got to go home, and no one was more excited about that then Mason. I took some pictures of it when we got home, but it had been over 4 hours after they had gotten it off, so it wasn't nearly as swollen as it was at first. We are just glad that it is off and that his finger is okay. The poor little guy went through quiet a lot today and was a real trooper. The bunt pan is now in the garbage, and I would advise anyone who has this Target kitchen set to throw the bunt pan out as well. Their little fingers fit all to well right in the middle.
