So, we have our first tournament back this weekend post-COVID and it's an important showcase here in the SE. We're playing our first game of the tournament. DD is catching and took a pitch in some kind of wonky way to her glove hand. She is not sure if it just jammed her thumb or what. But it was obvious she was in real pain. Took her to the Children's ER and this was the result. Dislocated thumb; had to have it reduced. Which was apparently not a barrel of laughs or fun. Before and after pics below. Seeing hand orthopedist Tuesday and hoping she can be cleared in a week or two!!! Of all the rotten luck!

That does look painful. My DD catcher did that but one thumb joint lower at base of thumb. Had to use an EVO thumb shield for about 2 months in order to not have pain each pitch.
