The radiologist discovered that Game Boy did, in fact, break his finger. He has a buckle fracture at the base of the fourth finger.
Surprisingly, he isn't as unhappy about it as we thought he'd be.
We see his orthopedist on Friday.

Title Here
We have been chugging along doing way too much. Not much exciting, mind, but keeping pretty darn busy.
My house is very clean right now, because The Collar's parents came down and helped him clean. I've been having a lot of trouble keeping up with it, because of the thumb. My house sparkles. :) Have I mentioned how much I appreciate my in-laws?
On Friday, Game Boy went to the indoor soccer place for the finished with testing reward. He was playing soccer and jammed his pinkie. He claims it didn't hurt until he came home. Due to the amount of swelling, I took him to the urgent treatment center for X-rays. It's sprained but not badly (we aren't talking my thumb) so it's taped up and splinted. He'll be fine. However, he had to sit out both soccer games this weekend. Yesterday, he won the Scrabble tournament at Gifted & Talented at school. Our evening scrabble games are coming in handy!
I must say that I am sick of X-rays!
The Wiz's soccer team played pretty well, but we lost. I don't care, as long as we improve, which we have. It was a nice Sunday for soccer, but Saturday was extremely hot. The Wiz is now coming home every afternoon rather than going to the Y since I'm home.
That's our news. Game Boy seems to be ready for summer and The Wiz definitely is. I think that geocaching is in our future.

Home from Children's
First, a picture from the inlaws back yard:
Isn't that neat? I took it last night from the car when we arrived at their house.
Anyway, The Wiz and I went up to CCHMC for his GI and Hem appointments. One of the things that I am most grateful for (and that I love my inlaws for) is that we are able to spend some time with The Collar's parents around the appointments. The Wiz really enjoys spending time with them without Game Boy.
The GI is pretty pleased with The Wiz's growth, although he's sort of dipping down on his weight curve. He's still 12th percentile for height, though! We have to keep on top of the PI, and we need to continue giving him calorie dense foods. He may soon need to have more enzymes, but he hasn't grown enough yet for that.
Hematology went well. The Wiz has done very well on IG, so we will be doing that again next fall/winter/spring. However, the whole throwing up 9 hours after IG is over is not good, so we are trying a new brand next year, if he's still having a problem after his summer break. We have to go back in a month to run a bunch of immunology tests before we deal with his allergy problems. Lucky Wiz had no blood draws (his term) today. They'll all be next month.
That out of the way, the Inlaws, aka the Baseball Junkies :), treated us to the afternoon Reds game. Before we arrived, Adam Dunn hit a 3 run homer and Junior hit a solo homer. (Actually Adam Dunn nearly hit a cycle--he didn't get a single!) A foul ball landed under a seat next to me, but I was too busy ducking to grab for it. Darn those self-preservation instincts! Today was the first time I've ever seen the Reds win. Usually, if I'm in the stands, they lose.
On the way home, The Wiz finally lost one of his front teeth. It kept him busy a good chunk of the way home.
And, today is The Collar's birthday. He can stop with the old jokes now (he's 18 days younger than me).

News
Even not doing anything is busy around here.
I'm not teaching this summer after all (or at least right now). The class didn't have enough students. It might be put online, but I don't know yet. I hope that it is. I'm trying to not panic about money, but it's hard. There are often reasons these things happen, right? I am trying to walk the dog most days, just to have something to do.
The Collar's job search is going ahead. We both feel better. I do hate not knowing where we are going, but I'm sure that we'll know where to go. His birthday is tomorrow, so he can stop with the old jokes.
The Wiz has a GI and a Hem appointment tomorrow. We'll visit the zoo afterwards. Friday is his last day at the Y. We are going up this afternoon. I think that he'll be losing a tooth today.
Game Boy is being 9. He's mad because one of their rewards for testing is an in school dance. Why are they doing that?!? He was elected as president of their school's chapter of FCA for next year.
Here's some flowers. These are growing in the front flower beds. Pretty soon my peonies will be blooming and the larkspur. The cosmos are the red ones and the pink flowers are pinks.

I'm bored.
I can't do anything. Really. Showering is difficult. Brushing my hair is difficult. Buttoning my pants is difficult (it's the whole thumb thing, really!).
Yesterday, I tried to knit. It didn't work.
I'm trying to type, but the huge thumb cast makes that hard.
I can't go for a run, because sweat + cast = eeeewwww.
Cycling is definitely out. I need both thumbs to shift and brake.
I'm even contemplating house work. That's just crazy. (And also difficult.)
So, my blog is about knitting, cycling, and meatloaf. None of which are happening right now. Oh well, we still have adventures.
