Weston had surgery a couple weeks ago on his thumb. A while back he fell off a stool in the kitchen and hurt his thumb. We went to the urgent care that night because we thought he had dislocated his thumb. Come to find out after an x-ray that he had a thing called trigger thumb. It could have been there since birth or not, but it caused that his thumb could not straighten all the way. So he had to get surgery in which they had to put him under and cut his thumb and cut a pullee. It wasn't a super intense surgery but the fact that they had to put him under scared me. Especially since he is scared of a lot of things. He actually did really well and the nurses and doctors were great. He didn't even cry which the nurse says that 95% of the patients do.
Here is weston in his gown watching tv while we were waiting to go in:
After the surgery... to put him asleep they told him how he had to blow up a balloon and after surgery he wanted his balloon that he blew up, so they blew up a glove and he wanted to hold it. He was such a good sport. Here he is recovery and coming out of his sleepiness.
So he kept his cast on his hand for 10 days and the next day we went up to the gateway in which there are water fountains, well Weston was playing in there since he could get his hand wet and slipped and fell. He chipped his front tooth really bad and so below is the picture of his tooth... (POOR KID)

Oh, poor Weston! Hope his thumb gets all better. Sorry about the tooth. I hope you have a special savings accounts for all of his medical needs (I see many broken noses and sprained ankles in his future).
