This picture was taken on the way how from an Urgent Care yesterday. Notice the wrapped thumb. It really is a heartbreaking story. So, I was putting stuff away in my cedar chest. I shut the lid and sat down on top of it to keep working. That's when Brayden started screaming and I noticed his thumb stuck under the lid. I'm pretty sure I instantly started crying. I'm so glad that Craig was home. He calmly led us all to the car and drove us the the Urgent Care.
The doctor said that because he is so young and his bones are so soft nothing broke, but they still wrapped it up for us. It didn't seem to bother Brayden, especially with the painkillers he was taking, but I was shaken.
Brayden could tell that I was struggling. This morning, I was laying on the couch watching him play. He came over to me and just laid next to me on the floor. I was rubbing his back and telling him how sorry I was and he eventually fell asleep. It's a little disarming to have this little guy trying to take care of me when I should be the one taking care of him.
When Craig got home, he took off the old bandage so he could wrap it in a clean bandage. That thumb was so swollen and it looked like it really hurt. I'm so sorry little guy.
