Well, things did get worse after all. Unfortunately, Clint's broken bone was not staying in place, so he had to go in to the hospital yesterday and get some pins put in his finger. This was major surgery, but Clint did really well. The hardest part was fasting all day. His surgery wasn't until 4:30! And because he hadn't had anything to drink, his veins were hiding, and it was pretty rough getting an IV in him. But he is one tough kid. What a trooper!! Here he is before he went in:
And here he is coming out of anesthesia:
So not too bad! He's still feeling a little dizzy today, but he's not having pain, and we're glad about that. Hopefully now we'll be on the uphill swing of this! He will probably keep these pins for a couple of weeks until the bone starts sticking together. Who knew a broken finger would be such a big deal??

Poor guy. Sounds like a good excuse for lots of ice cream!
