This morning Parker took on a door and lost. Hopefully this will be the last time he tries something like that. The reality is that this is just one of many boo-boos the kids will receive growing up. As a parent, I now understand what my folks went through when they said injuries I sustained growing up hurt them more then me. It’s all coming back around now that I’m a Dad.

*Update*  - The Radiologist called back and said that Parker may have a fracture in his distal phalange (the bone at the tip of his finger).  Unfortunately we have to wait a week until they can take another x-ray (after swelling goes down.

**Final Update** –  We took Parker back to the Dr. after we found him favoring his hand.  This time the Dr. lanced his nail to drain the fluid underneath.  The whole procedure took only a few seconds and Parker is feeling much better.
