On Monday after school, as I was trying to clean up the kitchen I hear a massive *CRASH BANG* from the hall. I look up to see table pulled over on it's side and Brandon screaming standing in the middle of the mess. I pick him up and he's holding up his left hand, and as I'm looking him over I actually see his hand inflate. The swelling came on that fast.... As soon as I saw that I knew it was time to head out to Urgent Care. Surprisingly they didn't recognize us by face (considering the number of times we've been there) and we got him x-rayed right away. I would have been VERY surprised to not see a break in a x-ray picture, and sure enough there at the base of the left index finger was a fracture. I thought we were going to have to go to the ER for casting, but they sent us across the street to a hand specialist. He wasn't going to be able to get him in for surgery until Friday morning, but he had such an awful night Monday night that they squeezed us into the hospital surgery schedule yesterday. He got a plate put in his hand, and now his puffy little hand is all wrapped up in a splint & bandage.
When we first got back from the hospital yesterday:
Lounging on the couch:
And passed out from the traumatic day:
