We're back. After 4 hours in doctors' offices - turns out it was nothing more than a bad sprain. What a relief! The 3 middle fingers are taped together (for the next week).
Thanks for the well wishes. He seems fine - unless he moves the wrong way - he found he can still play video games if he uses the steering wheel. That makes him happy. Of my three guys (DH included) DS1 is the least likely to whine when he doesn't feel well.
Cindy, I hope your daughter isn't feeling any pain. Hope it's not her writing hand - I was concerned about DS not being able to write for the first month of school.
