Jordan broke his thumb last Tuesday! The school called me at work and told me he hurt his thumb and he said it was pretty painful and the office lady said it was swollen. I called my mom and luckily she was able to take a quick break to pick him up at school and take him home. She gave him advil and ice and we carried on. I even asked him several times to try and get his glove on to see if he'd be able to play in the tournament this weekend. Once he actually did and then he tried to catch a ball and it REALLY HURT! Thursday night I noticed the swelling was pretty much the same and there was now some bruising too. Friday morning we went to Kaiser and found out he broke it! Poor kid he's out of baseball for at least three to four weeks and no more PE at school for the rest of the year. AND... he can't even play video games since it is his thumb. Bummer! He was pretty shocked that it was broken. He was playing dodge ball and as he caught the ball it bent his thumb back pretty bad obviously. While he was getting ready for a cast he told me that he wasn't going to tell anyone who threw the ball that broke it, he didn't want that kid to be able to say he broke his thumb! So funny. Luckily we didn't just have the hottest days of the year this weekend. OMG! Oh well. I think for having two very active boys we have been pretty lucky in the bone breaking department!
Getting his cast!
At this point he was happy with the cast! He missed school all day.The pictures were from my phone so they are a little fuzzy, sorry.

So I just left 2 comments on Facebook not realizing that you posted it here! Poor Jordan. maybe he's like his grandpa Barnum and very clumsy??? I didn't know that dodgeball was such a dangerous sport!!
Jordan, you must've sent your injury vibes east because Tyler got stitches in his finger on Wednesday least week!!
Sorry you're going to miss so much baseball. Hope it heals quick and the pain is gone! :)
Poor Jordan! When I broke my foot "dancing" like a ding dong, I usually tried to make it sound way cooler than it was. I can see where Dodgeball wouldn't be a "cool" way to break your thumb. Maybe you could tell the kids you broke it beating up your brother!
Jordan...I'm so bummed for you! Your dad broke his knuckle one time and I kept him playing baseball because I thought it was just fine...didn't get better and I FINALLY took him to the doctor's and it was broken....he had the cast on forever! I was a BAD mom! I hope you heal really fast and everyone treats you special! We love you---grandma & grandpa :)
Sorry that Jordan has a broken thumb. I broke my big finger playing flag football when I pulled the flag and the guy tied his flag to his belt. I had a split on it and had to play with one hand for a month. I hope Jordan is a better patient than I was. I could go on, but it would only depress you knowing I am part of his gene pool.
