Bonnie's Hand

So yesterday Bonnie was practicing hand stands in the front room, this is a regular occurrence, she wants to be a gymnast, but back to the story. She came from the front room in tears because she had hurt her thumb while doing her hand stand. I got some ice for her and sat her on the couch thinking she would be fine in a few minutes. After 20 minutes of continuous crying I finally decided she was not fine and called the Dr. office. I was on hold for 15 minutes before I could even set up an appointment, at which point they told me to come right down because the x-ray office closed at 5:00 and they wanted to make sure we got in. I called my neighbor (Cadi) and took the other kids there, drove the 20 minutes to our pediatrician, and they did get us right in. Long story short, Bonnie broke her thumb. Thankfully, because she is getting baptized this week, they won't put a cast on it until Monday. Until then we get to keep it iced, and an ace bandage on it. SO MUCH FUN!!

If you look at Bonnie's right thumb you can see how swollen and bruised it is.
