Back from the ER. Again.

This time was Jason. He was playing soccer tonight. We aren't sure what happened (either someone kicked his hand, the ball hit his hand or his hand hit the ground). But he took off his glove after that play and his thumb was in a very abnormal position. Took him to the ER, where we found out he broke his thumb. He's in a soft cast right now, he sees the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow. They don't think he'll have to do surgery to correct it, but he'll need a different cast for sure. Cast for 4-6 weeks. So, for those keeping tabs.... Jason was in the ER in June for his ankle, Owen in July for his cut, Jason in October for his thumb.... fortunately I'm just the taxi driver :) No more, please!

Well, he went to the surgeon yesterday and they don't think he'll need any surgery. He has a cast for 4-6 weeks and weekly appointments for now. He'll get an x-ray every week to make sure it's healing. If it's healing right he won't need surgery.
