We've had a first at Our Home's School . . . a broken bone. Our oldest, Darling Helper is 12. We have three more kiddos ages 10, 6, and 4. No broken bones, no major health issues of the sort. Not until today.
"A clean break", is what that doctor said. It looks bad in this picture, but I think it looked worse. She did a great job. Setting the finger into the splint was painful for her, but she just gritted her teeth and didn't cry; brave girl.
So, on the way home, we stopped for a shake and I think she is feeling better. The doctor asked her what she liked to do. Piano, no piano now for about 4 weeks, Violin, nope, not for about 4 weeks, riding her bike ( ya, that's what got her here, bike crash), and Legos, this should be an interesting month.
. . . as a side note, a couple of weeks ago, I had a conversation with Peaches while she was in the bath. She commented that fingers were very important and then said, " Life would be pretty hard without them." Hmmmm . . . I guess now we have a guinea pig to test that theory. Enjoy!

So sad!! It brings back memories of when I broke the exact same finger when I was 12 trying to be an Olympic gymnast in my living room!! Get well soon and enjoy the no practicing the piano for awhile! :)
