And Pinky makes Six


Well....Josh has a broken pinky.

Things started out as a wrestling match and apparently moved on to a death match between Luke and Henry.  Josh Oliver didn't get the heck away soon enough and ended up with a broken finger.

The terrible thing is that I was busy dealing with the two trouble makers for a good 15 minutes.  When I finally got around to dealing with a still crying Josh, he told me that he thought his finger was broke.

Although, after the words "broken finger" got thrown out there, the other two straightened right up and Henry, the finger bender, did everything he could to make Ollie feel comfortable.

We gave him a makeshift splint--thanks to some crayons!--and headed to the doctor this morning.  He has a small break at the middle knuckle and has to wear a splint for a couple weeks.

He's pretty excited--true to form--but he's already annoyed by the splint.

So our new total is:

  • 5 broken arms
  • 1 broken finger
  • 13 stitches in an upper lip
  • and one messed up lip that desperately needed stitches but couldn't get them

(Luke and Henry claim 3 of the broken arms.  The rest of the injuries are Josh's--his poor lip!)
