Our first broken bone

And the prize goes to...Violet Grace! Sunday night while practicing her "gymnastics" (handstand/somersaults), she took a funny roll and folded her right thumb underneath her. Randy and I both heard the crack. We looked up at each other (we were all relaxing in the living room) and exchanged knowing glances. After an hour and a half, the swelling was minimal due to her letting us put ice packs on it, but it was starting to turn black and blue. She was pretty conscious of holding it away from her body and not letting anyone or anything touch it. So Randy and Violet headed to the ER at Children's for an x-ray. Yup, a clean crack through the bone, between the joints. Luckily, no need for setting it or surgery. Just a splint for the night, and then back up to the orthopedic doctor the next day to get a real cast put on. Violet was a trooper! No crying of fussing at all! Home from the ER...about 11 p.m. Ready to go see the doctor! Look at my cool, purple cast!
