Medical Drama

Well- we had our own medical drama this afternoon and visited the ER. Caden got his fingers stuck in the boat door to the engine. Greg and his dad were going to replace some fuses and were shutting the engine door so Caden could get on the boat. He did the silent cry for a couple of seconds, then cried as we made our way inside the house then decided to go to the First Choice Emergency Room in The Woodlands. He cried all the way there about 45 min. from the lakehouse. I was crying too and really trying not to but couldn't help thinking of my little boy's perfect little hand getting all smashed up and him in so much pain. I didn't even finish filling out paperwork and Caden was seen immediately. He got x-rays and nothing is broken (thank you Lord) and it is just REALLY swollen and the skin is scraped up pretty bad and cut up but he didn't stitches. They put a soft cast with the splint and ace bandage around it and told us it could. They said if he is still complaining about it really hurting in the next couple of days then to take him to orthapedist to check out his growth plate. They said x-rays don't show everything since he is so little. Caden is proud of his "cast" kind of like his cousin Bailey and could hardly wait to tell him about it. Caden told the ER doctor that he wants to be a doctor when he grows up. The doctor was wonderful with him and all the nurses were so kid friendly and gentle. We told them we would probably be back sometime in the future since we have triplets at home. We pray healing for our sweet Caden and petition prayers for his hand to get back to being strong.
