Joshua Update



So Joshua (the 2.5 year old) broke his arm in a biking accident. Went too far off the trail down a steep grassy hill and flew off his bike at the bottom of the hill. The ER doctor confirmed he fractured one of his left arm bones. They set it as best they could in the ER and suggested we take him to see an orthopedic surgeon as a follow up which Nicole did today at Children's Hospital in St. Paul. The determined they needed to actually break his arm to get it set back in the correct position in order to properly heal which they did this evening (sounds like no pins or screws were needed). Will be in the cast for 6 - 8 weeks.
