Thumbs Up!--Update

Well, last Thursday we took Nick in to get his cast off. They did another x-ray and discovered that he did indeed break his thumb! Apparently, the bone absorbed the dead bone so the fracture didn't show in the first x-rays. Then 2 weeks later the fracture is visible. I'm not really sure how that happens but the doctor said so and my surgical tech husband agrees so I'll take their word for it. :-) I'm just glad that the doc decided to put the cast on the first time (to allow it to heal better and more quickly--we thought). He now has another cast for another 2 weeks.
