A couple weeks ago, I got a call from Hudson's school that he had smashed his finger in the door. The teacher said he had been upset about it for a while and that it was really swollen. Hudson is a pretty tough kid, so when he gets hurt, he might cry... but he typically gets over it within a few minutes. I knew it must be pretty bad if he was crying about it hours later. I rushed to his school (which means I sat in traffic for an hour) and took him straight to urgent care. Daddy and London met us there with a milkshake, which naturally makes everything better. :)
After reviewing the x-rays, the doctor said it didn't appear to be broken, but he gave Hudson a splint to wear for a week or two... until it felt better. A few days later, I got a call from radiology that it was, in fact, broken! He had a tiny fracture at the tip of his finger. By this time Hudson was already on the mend, so we just let him wear the splint for a few more days until it felt better.
First broken bone... check!
