Well, pictures are worth a thousand words, so you can see we have a broken bone. This is the first for Brian. He was playing tag with his friends, fell and rolled across his pinky bending it backward toward the wrist. That isn't a good thing. Little man that he is..he didn't complain. Just mentioned his hand hurt. We put ice on it and hoped for swelling to go down. When it looked worse in the morning, we headed for an X-ray machine. Yep, a salter-harris fracture of the left pinky. He has been fitted for a cast and will wear it for a few weeks, then wear a buddy brace. (meaning a type of velcro strips that will tie the ring finger to the pinky for support).
A TRIP TO TACO BELL MADE HIM FEEL BETTER! I'm sure we will have more mishaps in the future, but until then.....
