Apparently Tyler broke his (right pinky) finger at camp last week! No one (from the camp) ever said anything to me. I am slightly irritated about it. He was playing kickball with one of the other boys and the ball hit his finger. He told me when it happened his counselors sent him to the nurse and she gave him some "orange stuff" which I am assuming was ibuprofen. It was still pretty swollen after a week and a half so I brought him to the dr. yesterday and she said it was fractured. Its not a real big deal but I wish the nurse that checked it out would have called me or said something to me when I picked them up. We just figured he had sprained it and even if that would have been all it was they still should have let me know. He has to wear a splint on it for 2 weeks and then go back and see how it looks.
You can see where it was broken on the left side of the first big knuckle of the finger (you can see the outside of his hand where it is swollen). It is supposed to be a little more rounded.

MY TY TY DOT A BOO BOO. kg
hey i recently did this while playing basketball and i dont want to goto the doctors, ive had it in a splint since it happenend after 2 weeks what did you sons look like and what did the doctors say? thank you!
It was swollen around the knuckle and all they did was keep it in the splint for about 4 weeks.
then the swelling went down or he had to be re-evaluated? my swelling has barely gone down, but the color is back to normal...thanks for your reply!
We did have to go back and have them x-ray it again. But it was heaing perfectly and that was the end of it! His did not have any discoloration...just swelling...if you really don't want to go to the dr. right not I would only wait 2 more weeks for the swelling to go down. If it hasn't by then I would definitely get it checked! Good Luck!
