A Trip to Children's Clinic

Today we went to the Children's Clinic in Bellevue. I wasn't sure what they were going to say about your hand. Turns out that you crushed the bone! Sounds a lot worse than it is because your bones are still very soft and the bones in your hand haven't even developed yet. Its still mostly cartilage in your hand. The doctor described your finger as like a mozzarella stick that got smashed. Thankfully you are young and heal quickly. It'll be about 3 more weeks before we come back and you'll be fully healed.

Dr. Cheryl asked me if you're ok with load noises. I told her no. So instead of a hard cast, were you could have picked out a color, you got a soft cast. Its actually still pretty hard, but instead of sawing it off with a loud saw, they can just peal it off.

Here are some pictures of you at the hospital.

Today you went to your friend Bentley's birthday party. We went to his house first for pizza and presents. Then his mom, Kjaersti, drive you with them to the bowling alley. I stayed home with Camden. You had so much fun!



Then I got the phone call. You dropped a bowling ball on your hand. At first we didn't think that it was broken, but I knew we needed to get it checked just in case. And sure enough you had a couple cracks in the bone between your 1st and 2nd knuckle. Daddy said you were a trooper and did so good when getting your hand xrayed. It now has a splint on it.
