My afternoon with my son.....

This is not really how I had planned to spend my afternoon, but today Adam and I spent the afternoon in the ER!
Yesterday we had a family Christmas party/reunion at a local school. The kids were all in the gym playing ball, and Adam bent down to pick up a soccer ball and at the same time his 2nd cousin was gearing up to kick it. He ended up kicking Ad in the hand in the thumb area.
When we got home, it was hurting him and a little swollen. But this morning it was black and blue and swollen and very sore. The bad thing is that it is his right hand, and he is right handed. He had a hard time writing at school.I called the Dr. and they said that he should be X-rayed. So once he got home from school, we went to the ER to be seen and to get some X-rays.


This is Ad being a dork! He was laying down waiting for the Dr and staring at the light.....

Getting ready to be xray'd
Here is his xray. The Dr said that there is a slight fracture and so he wants to keep a splint on it for a week and then we are to get it checked again. =(Me, squishing his head! We were passing time waiting for the dr!

Here is his spint and wrap:And yes, we know he needs a haircut! But he likes it long.....So tomorrow night he will do his speaking part in the school play with a splint! Ahhhh....he will be ok! He was feeling pretty good once we left the ER and then we stopped and got him some fast food for supper! Doesn't that always make everything better??

TTFN! Martha

That squishing his head picture is too funny! Glad it's nothing too serious.
