Mat is still hurting and needing motrin about every 4 hours.
His thumb looks a little more swollen today than yesterday.
I posted another picture below in the original post.
We are praying that it will heal and not get infected.
As of 8pm tonight Mat is now on antibiotics.
I researched on line enough to know that the hospital should have scanned his hand. Most likely he has a bone bruise, which is just shy of fracture. That is what is causing all the pain- info said bone bruises are extremely painful. Not only that but bone trauma can lead to infection. He was much more swollen tonight, so we talked and decided he would be better off ensuring no bone infection~ that could be devastating.
He was spiking a very high fever today and we were sponge bathing him, took him outside and dumped cold water all over him in conjunction with using motrin and tylenol. Finally, his fever dropped after about 2 hours of real stress. He kept asking for facial hydro therapy to help relieve his sinuses and stuffy nose, which he said did really help him.
He always had very high fevers even as a little baby!
I'm sure the fever is attributed to his sore throat but it could be something else too.
He told me tonight that he wished he either just had his thumb injury or was only sick but not both. Poor kid!
So I am praying, waiting, watching, & always checking to make sure he is doing ok. Now we are waiting to see if he will be allergic or not to the antibiotics that he's never had before?
Please pray that Mat's thumb will heal and that his illness will subside. God bless.
