JJ's latest Boo-Boo!

I got a call today from Mikey and JJ's school. They have JJ in the nurses office and they think he may have broken his thumb. He was playing football and, as he says, was going for the interception and jammed his thumb into the ground. He said it was bent way back and he couldn't move it so he pulled on it and heard a loud "Crunch!" and then it started hurting really bad. So I took him in to Urgent Care, and sure enough, it's broke! They splinted it and gave me the number of an Orthopedic Specialist and told me to call right away since it was already Thursday and they probably wouldn't be able to fit him in to the schedule for a few days. So I called, and luckily they told me that if I could have him there in 15 minutes, they could squeeze him in. So off we ran and got there just in time. The Orthopedic Specialist agreed that it was infact broken and they were able to cast him right then and there. Thank God, it isn't a really bad break, meaning he won't need surgery or pins etc. and the break isn't near his growth plates so he shouldn't have any further problems once it heals. On the way home he told me, "At least I got the interception!!"
Can somebody please get us a plastic bubble for this child? ASAP!
