Youth football league stuff..and my son's finger
My DS has started playing youth football this year. We've been having some issues with the coaches (not the head coach) being fair with the boys. Each boy has to play 6 plays per game. Well the first game about 5 boys didn't get to play at all, one of which was my son. He was so bummed and we were not happy about it either. So my dh and several other parents had a conversation with the coach. So, last Saturday when they put my son in to play his very FIRST play he got an interception!!! We were so excited. He played a good bit the rest of the game then. He felt like he had proved himself,so that was good. Fast forward to practice Tuesday night...He came home saying he hurt his finger. Thought he jammed it really bad. Well, Wednesday he got home from school and said he wasn't going to practice his finger hurt too bad. So, off to the Dr. we went. He said to go for xrays and he wouldn't be surprised if it was broken, if not it was a very bad sprain. So, Thursday am before work and school I run him to the hospital for xrays. They call Thursday evening and say the end of his finger has the bone chipped. Just continue keeping the splint on, nothing else. Well, Friday night the Dr. calls himself to tell us that after looking at his xray himself he is concerned that there is a fracture into his growth plate in his knuckle. So, he is calling an orthopedic Dr. on Monday and get his opinion if he thinks they need to put pins in my sons finger. So a prayer please that they will make the correct decision for my son's finger to heal properly. Thanks for listening!
