Broken thumb!

[gja1000]

Abi injured her thumb at the v-ball tourney on Saturday. She continued to play and they got 4th place (out of 16). Her mom decided to take her to the doc today since it was still really swollen and painful - it's broken. Thumbs usually do not break - but what happened was that it got jammed so hard, the sides of the joint (where it attaches to the hand) squirted out both sides - OUCH!

Hard HOT PINK cast for 3 weeks, then a splint for a while longer. Guess she'll be watching v-ball for a while.

This is not her first broken bone. She fell off the bed when she was about 18 months old and broke her arm. Then she was doing gymnastics and fell on her elbow and broke the tip end off. Now this.

Poor kid - swine flu last week, broken thumb this week. Thankfully, it is on her left hand and she is right handed!
