As a mother of 3 boys I always wondered "if" or should I say "when" this day would come? On Saturday, Jaxson mashed his finger in a farm gate while playing with some friends. It did slow him down momentarily but after a little ice and some compassion from others he decided to rejoin his friends. The day was a busy one, spent almost entirely with friends. This busyness, I guess, made the pain bearable...until bedtime! Isn't that the way it goes? Well, after a restless night and some nausea symptoms from the throbbing pain we headed to the ER to confirm what someone had indicated...Jaxson broke the tip of the finger bone off! I learned on a smashed finger that if most of the black and blue bruising is on the underside this probably is an indication of a broken bone. If the finger nail turns black it is likely it's just that; a smashed finger. Who knew...always learning!
