Carders broken finger

It looks like a broken arm but its just a finger. Poor guy had
an accident last night and broke his pinky finger. It was all very
sad and he was very sad and you know how those emergency
room visits go sometimes...not fast enough. But after a long night
at the ER we made it home around 4 in the morning. They x-rayed
his finger and it was broken it two places and they put a pin in it
to keep it together and stictched him up and then protected it
with this large cast. He was not a happy camper when he woke
up this morning. He wanted this big thing off and that is why
they put such a big one on is because they knew he would try to
get it off. All things considered he has been a trooper!
He was eating some crackers as he was hungry from such a long night.
Quite the cast? We thought he would not be able to get around
very good or even be able to crawl or to stand up to things.
I figured he would have to hang out in his walker to feel like
he was getting around places. As you can see below he is not
likeing it. He would rather be getting around on his own
and he is! He is using the cast to his advantage. Not much
holding him back. And don't get to close or he will whop you with
that hard cast. He got me this morning. This is just a temporary
cast until we go back to the orthopedic surgeon on Monday.
So I'm hoping that one will be a lot smaller for him.



In the meantime he is getting lots of love and attention!!!
Whether he likes it or not.

That just breaks my heart. What a trooper he is. The cast looks HUGE sitting up there on his walker. Poor guy. That last picture is Priceless. Give him lots of hugs & kisses from his Aunt Marcy

Oh, the poor little guy. Hopefully, come Monday it won't be such a huge thing for him to lug around. At least he's getting lots of extra love. He deserves it!
