The little finger mishap

I received a text from my babysitter while at work a few weeks ago with the picture of a red swollen finger saying Finn was crying and she didn't know what to do. After talking with her for a bit I told her just to bring him in to my office. One of my colleagues ordered an x-ray and lo and behold, the first broken bone in my household! I've never had a broken bone. He was still crying in the hour it took to pack everyone up and get to my office, but he settled down pretty quickly once I held him. One perk of the day was that I was able to be with him the whole time. My patients for that hour didn't show up. Now he's in a splint for 6 weeks. He's had it on for almost 2 weeks and he hates it when I change the bandage. I'm hoping he'll let us take it off when we get to 6 weeks!

  1. It got caught in some metal folding thing at her parents' house. So I'm not sure exactly. It looked painful but he's doing great now.
