My poor Miss G. broke her pinky finger at school. It’s actually a cute story. Her best friend Ryley and she were playing “horses” at lunch recess. They went to pinky swear that they would always play with each other, they jumped up and some how her pinky came down and hit her friends elbow.
After it happened, she didn’t even cry. She went to a friend who is an aide at the school and whispered that she had bent her finger and asked to go to the office for ice. She told her teacher that her finger hurt, but never a tear. When she got to the car, she said “mommy, I hurt my finger” and put the finger in front of me. And of course I said “HOLY COW G., what happened?” Her poor finger was swollen twice the normal size and completely black and blue. We were going to just give it a day or so before we took her to the doctor, but ended up googling broken fingers and decided to take her to urgent care.
As soon as the doctor saw it he knew it was broken. But it couldn’t be a normal break, it involves the growth plate so off to the orthopedist we had to go. She will have to have it splinted for a total of 4 weeks, but thank the Lord no surgery. She is being such a trooper and doing great with the splint. She is only having a little pain here and there. Unfortunately for her teacher, her handwriting has been affected, but at least that’s temporary.
