Broken Arm


We got to MN on Tuesday. About two hours later Weston slid off of the window seat at our hotel and broke his arm. :( We took him to urgent care (in a taxi!) and got x-rays and found out he broke his forearm right below the elbow. Our urgent care doctors splinted his arm and that really helped him have less pain. Our doctor was so great, he even drove us back to our hotel!!

So this morning after LOTS of phone calls to our insurance company we found a covered provider. After finding the right one and borrowing a car, we took him to the doctor. It was the nicest doctor's office we have ever seen. They actually had a concierge to come and meet us at the door. She walked us to the correct office and we were completely amazed.

We saw a wonderful doctor and his assistant was completely wonderful. Weston's doctor is actually the official team doctor for the Vikings football team! So there is no question that Weston got the best available care!

Weston chose a blue cast and it starts at his shoulder and ends at his thumb. He is doing fine now! Auntie Megan helped him glue on some fishy stickers on his cast! He said, "I want to wear this cast forever and decorate it everyday!" Megan bought him that great shirt today... fitting huh?
