Fractured finger

General 

Elliott was really good today.

Activities

In the morning we got up and he got ready for Berkshire hockey before we drove to Chiswick fot the games. He had ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch. 

After lunch the hockey began and the first game was against South London. At the end of the first half Elliott got his finger trapped between a stick following on and his own stick and it was quite badly swollen so he sat out the rest of that match. Before he got injured he'd been attacking really well. Then before the game against Kent he couldn't grip his stick very well so he sat that out as well and watched and supported. Berkshire lost both games (5-0 against South London and 3-1 against Kent) but they have not played together much this year through all the trianing cancellations and their coach was actually quite happy with how much they learnt. After we got home Elliott complained that his finger was still hurting so I phoned 111 and they booked us in to Henley Townlands Hospital minor injuries department. After we got there and were seen they advised we go to the Royal Berkshire Hospital minor injuries department where Elliott's finger could be X Rayed (they didn't have an X Ray machine in Henley) . So we drove there and after being seen there and X Rayed it turned out Elliott had a minor fracture, so they strapped him up. After we got home he had some roast chicken, roast potato and peas for tea and then he brushed his teeth and got ready for bed. He went straight to sleep as it was getting late.
