Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 DD, 10, called from school Tuesday. She fell and hurt her hand/finger and was at the nurse. Nurse didn't seem too concerned, said it looked fine. DD was very upset. She hadn't gotten much sleep the night before, was starting choir practice that afternoon after school, and had her first play practice that night. I thought it was a combination of all those things, school did, too. They had the school social worker (dd knows her) talk to her about all those things, about her anxiety, etc, and REALLY down played her injury. When she came home, I taped them together and gave her advil. She went to school the next day, then came home and said it hurt so bad, she wanted to go to the doctor. So I took her in and, YEP, her finger was broken!!!! I felt so awful! She felt vindicated that it was broken! LOL! She tends to know her body well and I should have listened to her and taken her in right away! This is her second broken bone (summer '10 she broke her foot), so she is handling it well.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Oh dear. . .I hate when that happens. Our son has always been one to overreact to everything, with such drama, that it makes it hard to know when it is serious. Glad she is handling it well, at least. But what a bummer to have another broken bone. BJ > > DD, 10, called from school Tuesday. She fell and hurt her hand/finger and was at the nurse. Nurse didn't seem too concerned, said it looked fine.
