Scary Experience with an automatic door

This evening we all went to Menards (home improvement store) to look at stain colors for our new banister going in next week. When we were checking out Nicholas wandered to the windows on either side of the sliding automatic doors. We knew he was there and as Jason went to get him he accidentally triggered the automatic doors as he walked towards Nicholas. The sliding doors opened and grabbed his left hand and pinched it between the door and window. Jason pushed the door very hard and I pulled on Nicholas' hand. We did this in a flash as we saw Nicholas crying and trapped by the door. Right away an employee came over and asked if he was okay. We said we weren't sure cause he had a scrape on his hand and for a minute it looked like his wrist was swelling and he wasn't using his hand - while crying the whole time. She went to get the manager to file a report. They took a picture of his hand and took his information and said if we went to the Dr that they would pay for it. Jason and I were ready to just go right to the hospital. It is so nice to be breastfeeding Aaron cause I didn't have to worry about not having a bottle with us or anything (funny how that flies thru my mind). As we were there he started to use his hand and seem like it wasn't hurting. I remembered I had gum in the diaper bag so I offered it to him and he cheered up.
Thankfully his hand is fine. Once we were home we had him try some different movements with his hand and he used it like normal. So, parents out there - watch those automatic doors!! We never would have thought he would have gotten his hand/wrist trapped in the door.
