A little over a week ago, Stone and Ollie were running around and somehow Ollie ended up kicking the back of Stone's heel and seriously injuring his toe. After observing the misshapen toe, we decided we should probably call the clinic to see if we needed to bring Ollie in. It was late at night on a weekend and we really didn't want to make the trip. We told the doctor that Ollie's toe was crooked and asked if we required medical assistance. I was just planning to buddy-tape the toe. Since I broke my toe a couple of months ago, I'm kind of an expert buddy-taper. The doctor laughed at us (and marveled at Ken's calm demeanor) and said that yes indeed we needed to come in. They took a handful of x-rays and declared the toe displaced and fractured. After some shots to numb the area, the doctor popped it back into place and NOW I get to buddy-tape it every day. Ollie really enjoyed the ride in the wheelchair and the table that moved up and down in the x-ray room. We were in and out and home two hours later and he will be good as new in a couple more weeks. Brave kid.
