Last Wednesday Nick fell off a chair and hurt his thumb. It hurt really bad especially when he tried to bend it. At first we thought it might be broken but an x-ray showed no broken bones. Thankfully! However the next morning the thumb was swollen and he couldn't bend it so we took him to the doctor. The doctor put a cast on it to stabilize it so that it can heal more quickly and better. The injury may have affected the growth plate (in the wrist) so the cast should keep everything aligned properly. A couple of hours after we got home, Nick holds up his arm and said, "Take this cast off!" When I told him that I couldn't he said "My thumb doesn't hurt anymore." I'm glad he has to wear it for only 2 weeks. By the way, that's a scrub hat he has on.
