Broken Down the Center

Monday we spent most of the day at doctors' offices. First the pediatrician, who took the X-ray of the fracture.

Then the orthopedic doctor, who told us stories of his hockey-playing son's injuries. Luckily, the bone is still straight, so we need to keep Reid's right hand steady while his index finger heals. A pair of Velcro splints will be our constant companions these next few weeks. Good thing Dorito is left-handed. And he hasn't complained though he comments the colors of bruising. He is mostly independent, even buttoning his own shirts and pants.
