What a horrible feeling! In the long run, you will probably remember and feel this long after she's forgotten. A similar thing happened to my Becky when she was in 1st grade. She was leaning on the door frame of her class room with her fingers on the hinge side of the frame when one of her classmates came in and shut the door with three of her fingers crushed in the hinge side of the door. It took several minutes to get them out and the janitor actually had to take the door off the hinges to get it open.

4 hours of reconstructive surgery. She amputated the last third of the three middle fingers on the left hand and they had to be reattached. Her middle finger is the only one of the three that failed to mend functionally and straight.

Sounds like this was very painful but at least the bones were not broken or severed. My concern for her is that the blood supply was not interrupted for so long that the flap of skin does not heal well. Please keep us posted on her progress.
