On Thursday night, Tate fell on the bathroom floor and landed on his pinkie. His finger got pulled out sideways away from his ring finger, causing him to break his pinkie right at the point where his finger meets his hand. He was in a lot of pain, but was a trooper and got through the night okay once they had it stabilized in a splint.
Friday morning we headed to my orthopedic doctor, who said that because of where the break was, it would heal best if they "set" it before putting it in a better splint. Soooo.... poor Tater had to get a bunch of shots right in the crease behind his pinkie to numb it, and then the doctor set it back in place. Honestly, the shots were waaaaaay worse than the actual setting because the area was so tiny that they were able to numb it really well. Thank goodness!!!
After we got home from the orthopedic doctor, he zonked out for two hours on the couch. He was spent!
Needless to say, now that it's been a few days, it's pretty tough keeping a six year old boy quiet and relaxed. He's right back to his old self again, running around and playing with Knox. A broken finger can't stop this kid!
