So...I am officially a bad mom. Younger Boy's arm was still hurting last night when I picked him up at daycare. We went home and ate dinner and then took Older Boy to Youth Group.
I took Younger Boy to Urgent Care. How frustrating!! First of all we had to have proof that I was his foster parent. Then we had to wait for consent to treat from the State. Urgent Care couldn't call them to get consent to treat, because it against their policy. I had to call for consent. Then the Abuse Hotline (where you get consent) had to call Urgent Care back, because they actually have to talk to them. It took about 40 minutes to actually get on the waiting list to see a doctor. Thankfully it wasn't an emergency!!
We got three x-rays of the left wrist. It is definitely NOT broken, but could be cracked. A radiologist has to look at the x-rays today and will call us to let us know. For now we are in a splint. If it is a sprain...which the doctor thinks...then the splint comes off this weekend. If it is a crack the splint has to stay on for two weeks.
Should I have taken him yesterday? Probably.
The boys were so giggly when we got home. They both read for a while in bed. We are working on doing that so Older Boy can improve his reading skills.
Prayers for healing of the arm.
