Let the medical bills continue.....

So we were over at some friend's house last night for dinner. Kids were outside playing. Daniel came running inside screaming! He had fallen and his knee was scraped up and his hand hurt. So we did the bandaid thing on the knee and after a few minutes he was off. Well he came back inside and said his hand hurt. Looking at the meaty part of his palm, by his thumb, it was swollen,hard and hot! So off we head to the hospital's ER. 1 1/2 hours later (we were SHOCKED it was that quick!) we walked out of there with this:

He fractured the thumb bone on his right hand. So it's in a splint right now. The radiologist will have his report done later this week to confirm (or deny) it. Apparently their bones have not calcified yet. They are still cartilidge. So it's harder ot see a break. But the ER was 90% positive. It was interesting to see the X-rays because not all of their wrist bones are even developed and he is 4 1/2! Anyhow, poor little guy had labs this morning, too. So we are kindof done with the hospital! But he wanted to have a picture of his airplane he got there.

On a funny note, when we were waiting in teh ER room last night I said to Daniel, "So what hand are you going to scratch your head?"
Daniel: "this hand" (not broken one)
Mom: "So what hand are you going to pick your nose with?"
Daniel" "this hand" (again, not broken one)
Mom: "So what hand are you going to wipe your bum?"
Without hesitating he points to my hand and says, "That hand!"

This morning already proved that true! When I was done pulling up his shorts (I never thought of his limitedness....of that is a word) he said, "Good boy, mom!" Funny boy!
