Today Tyler came home from school with an extremely swollen pinkie finger (I did not get pictures, darn it). I had cub scouts, so he had to wait for me to get home before I could get him to the doctors for a look.
I don't know why the school didn't have him call me. There's no blame in that statement. I know Tyler just showed his sub he got hurt and she said to wrap it in a cool paper towel. He didn't think to say anything else hours later when it was still hurting. I just wish he would have called.
I took him to our wonderful doctors office where they x-rayed him and found he had a "perfect" broken finger.
I guess it being "perfect" is good news. Perfect meant there was no surgery needed or any growth plate worries. If you were going to break your finger at 10yrs. old, then where he did was the perfect place.
So, he's wrapped up and pretty excited about his break. The Dr. also gave him the okay to play hockey this weekend, as long as it didn't hurt. We'll see.
I bet you're wondering about the lucky penny? Well, when I opened the washer tonight to take the clothes out, there.it.was. Shining up at me as if to say, "now the good luck begins".

And if anyone deserves some luck in their life, it's you.
Good luck to ya!!!
so sorry about Tyler, but glad that it was "perfect"....
...hope the lucky penny does send some "great" luck you way:)
I have to laugh at the "cool paper towel" thing... do all the schools do this??
If you gotta break it, it might as well be a perfect one! Glad he still got to play hockey~!
And I believe in Lucky pennies!!
Sounds just like when Anders broke his pinky! He did it at lunch time and didn't say anything until almost 5 pm! Silly boys.
