This week both Ryan and Teddy have been in basketball camp at Hamilton High School. They did this camp last year, too, and loved it! The high school coaches and some of their players teach the kids some great fundamentals. They also both have friends in this camp with them!
So, all has been going well on summer break...up until yesterday! We decided to meet some of Ryan's kindergarten buddies at a place called Bounce Jungle where they can bounce and jump on those huge inflatable slides and jumpers. Everything was fine for the first hour...then, as some of the kids were running between the two rooms, Ryan put his hand out to catch the door from closing JUST as another child was pulling the door closed from the other side! OUCH!
We headed out quickly to Urgent Care because the two affected fingers proceeded to swell and bruise immediately! I thought for sure he had broken one of them. But, lo and behold, after a very kind doctor looked him over and he had some x-rays taken, there were no breaks or fractures. They taped up his fingers to minimize the pain of movement and we were on our way. Some ice cream last night helped out, too!
As for basketball camp, Ryan decided to sit out this morning, but he'll join the crew tomorrow for their last day. The fingers seem to be feeling better. When it first happened, Ryan rated his pain at a 10 for the most painful. This morning he informed me (with help from Teddy, I think!) that it was now "minus 10" :-)
Ryan is too funny! At least you will have a record of the things he says...minus 10 is a good one.

ReplyDeleteevery 6 mos, Dale has a pacemaker check-up. he had one last Friday - they found that the Atrial lead wire from the hearts upper chamber to the pacemaker is malfunctioning - he is supposed to go in this week to have it replaced - will require an ovenite hospitalization - will keep you informed.
Hope you all are doing ok and that Ryan's fingers have healed.
love to all!!!
