Achy Breaky Thumb

2011 went out with a bang, or better said a crunch. :(

Last night, New Years Eve, we were at a friend's house.  The kids were upstairs playing when Mary came in to tell me that Andrew was hurt and bleeding.  It was his thumb.  A folding chair collapsed with his body weight falling down on the chair and it got his thumb.  He was a crying mess and we knew almost immediately it was a trip to the ER because we had no clue what to do.  It was purple and swollen and a tad crooked.

Matt took him to the ER.  X-rays verified a bone chip in his top thumb bone.  He has a splint and we'll head to his pediatrician and probably an orthopedic doctor hopefully tomorrow.  It doesn't hurt as long as he doesn't touch it.  He's been a real trooper


Gross, and this doesn't even capture the grossness

What a trooper!!!

Chicks dig broken bones. Looking tough Andrew... maybe they will give you a robotic thumb like Luke's hand.

I'm going to find that chair, and I'm going to kill it!
