Broken Finger

My mom and dad came up on Saturday night so they could watch the boys for us while we went to the Kenny Chesney/ Tim McGraw concert on Sunday. Before they came up, they watched a few softball games in Zanesville. A foul ball was hit toward my mom and apparently she couldn't see exactly where it was headed. So, to protect herself, she put her head down and covered the back of her head with her hands. The ball landed on her hands and also struck her head. She had a big lump on the back of her head and ended up with a very swollen and purple ring finger on her right hand. When they finally arrived at our house, the tip of her finger was very hard and almost glossy looking. They decided to go to the hospital's urgent care to get it checked out and sure enough she had a broken finger. They gave her some pain medication and a funny looking little splint that goes on the tip of her finger. I had to take a picture of her broken finger because I have a similar picture of her with her finger wrapped up in gauze. She and my dad had come up to watch Evan when he was only 3 or 4 months old so Nick and I could attend a wedding, and she ended up cutting her finger pretty badly and had to get several stitches. Pretty soon, the urgent care doctors are going to know her by name.
