Fingers and Doors

Never a dull moment here! Jeremiah pinched his finger in the bathroom door this morning and, when I couldn't get him to straighten it out after an icepack, we were off to the walk-in clinic. It's not broken, but pretty gross nonetheless. It's chewed up and bruised and his nail will definitely fall off at some point. They gobbed it up with antibiotic ointment and put it in a splint. Jerry was all smiles when he discovered the splint was metal, thus making him "just like Iron Man". Whatever works, right?! He was tickled to get to take his x-ray home too.

Anyway, new prayers are that it'll be much improved before his occupational therapy evaluation on Friday. It took a long time to find someone who took our insurance and then get the appointment. His issue is with fine motor (his hands) and of course it's a finger on his left hand (the one he writes with) that he smashed. Here are some before and after pics.
