Lindsey's broken finger...

The other day Lindsey was outside playing and came in claiming she broke her finger. She is a bit of a drama queen so the first claim was not taken seriously until Alan saw the finger and it was bent very strangely. So I popped in the car and headed over to the pediatricians office hoping to avoid the E.R. After an x-ray it was determined that finger tip broke and then completely rotated so we were sent to the Children's hospital where a specialist could set the bone correctly. 

I forgot my little camera so these are cell phone photos.  Here she is during x-ray. She was hurting.

Here is the x-ray you can see the finger tip is bent.

Here they are numbing her up.  You can really see how bent the fingertip was.  Yuck. He told me it was one of the worse finger breaks he has seen.

Amazingly we had to visit the finger specialist once a week and then every other week making four times total. I like to tease Lindsey and say..." leave it Lindsey to make breaking your finger drama"!

* By the way the injury occurred during a game of Capture the flag. She grabbed a boys shirt and he hit her finger pretty hard and twisted it in the process.  Now I know it was an accident but his complete lack of sympathy when she got hurt disturbed me a bit. Hopefully he didn't know what he had done.
