Broken Arm

Our first broken bone... (and I'm pretty sure not the last) 

Cruz decided to pull a spiderman move on the playground at recess last week and climb to the tallest point on the jungle gym.  He ended up losing his balance and fell right on his wrist breaking his radius bone and fracturing his ulna.  Poor punkin had a very eventful day.  We raced him to the new St. Anthony ER by our house.  Unfortunately, there was no orthopedic doctor on staff there so we were transferred to the downtown St. Anthony Hospital.  And O no, we couldn't just drive ourselves.  They require all patients being transferred to ride via ambulance.  So needless to say after an ambulance ride, an IV, having to get the arm re-set into place, hours of waiting, and finally a temporary splint, we were sent home.  Cruz felt much better the next day because his BFF Brodie brought him a ballon and candy, Chief brought over donuts, chocolate milk, and a new movie, the Blackburn girls brought over cookies and a sweet card, & Nana came to visit with coloring books and candy!!!  Lucky boy!:)
