Subungal Hematoma

Day 317/Year 2
It amazes me.....no matter what the inury, this kid can still text like there's nothing wrong!
This minor injury is the result of getting his thumb caught in the door of Mr. S's pickup truck last night. After a night of no sleep due to the throbbing pain, and the purple swollen appearance of his thumb this afternoon, Jay decided he should go to the ER this afternoon to get it checked.
No fracture thank goodness, but he had a large pool of blood under his nail which needed to be drained.
Yuck.
Doc says to expect the nail to fall off within the next week or two..........I promise........when that happens, it will NOT be a photo of the day. :-)
