So we took Coleman to the Instacare with a broken wrist on wednesday night. Had to let the swelling go down and then get it casted today. Long story short, three dr.'s and 5 hours later he has a cast. No it didn't take three dr.'s to do it...the first put splint on it wednesday and said go to our family dr. on friday. I did as told. Got to family dr. today, waited an hour, then he said he could not cast this type of break because it needed to be set or re-angled, so off I went to an orthapedic specialist. He comes in, looks at it and starts casting. I said, don't you need to set it? He said, no, not for a three year old, he has a lot of growth left to do so it will correct itself, if he'd been 14, then yes. So Brad and I were very frustrated. We think they all just sent us around on a goose chase so that they could ALL make money instead of just one. Totally lame! Anyway, it is done and he is a lot happier, it can't twist so it doesn't hurt him much.
We are off to the park fr the primary activity - Olympics. We have taken D to the park the last few nights because he insisted on practicing for it. So, off we go. I feel like a walking zombie today!

Oh, poor kid! How did he break his arm? I know what you mean about doctors. You always get a run around and they charge outrageous prices for nothing. When I have to take Emma or Addie up to PCMC for a follow up visit the doctor will look at their foot for 15 seconds and charge us over $100. It's insane!!
That is so not fun but be thankful it was his wrist and not his leg, unfortunatly they both hurt. But recover will for sure be easier for all of you with the wrist. Good luck with all hope it goes well.
Oh my goodness, poor little guy, and poor mama, and poor checking account. Glad it is finally casted and he looks adorable with that little cast.
Holy cow thats so crazy thats frustrating with the docs!
Hey Jennie thanks for the comment on my blog. I completely forgot about Mr. Mecham and paying us for our loose teeth. He's in my parent's ward and I was aware that he got remarried. Kind of crazy, huh? He married someone else in my parent's ward. Anyway, I hope all is well. -Josh
I'm glad you finally got him into an ortho MD--they're the ones to trust on broken bones. Arghh! It's frustrating about the run around though. Good luck!
I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. What a pain and poor Coleman. I swear some doctors are just clueless. Anyway, I love hearing from you on my blog hope all is well.
