Rest - don't play
Ice - 3 times a day, 20 minutes at a time or until you can't feel the cold, w/ a light cloth between your hand and the ice bag.
Compression - ACE bandage if you have one, not too tight.
Elevation - keep it elevated when you sleep or are resting.
Also, 2 Motrin/Ibproprin (sp) tonight and in the morning.
Tape it with athletic tape and take two Motrin before the audition.
I have two children who are soccer goalies. They've had a few jammed thumbs over the years.
