Shopping, Rodeo, or Hospital

Hospital(s). That is what we did this weekend. Visited two hospitals and had emergency hand surgery in less than 24 hours. Morgan had a farm accident on Saturday afternoon. He got his right hand stuck between the bale wagon and a post. Went to American Fork Hospital. However, their hand surgeon was on a family vacation so our choices were either UVRMC or PCMC. We drove to PCMC and finally had surgery from about 10:20 pm to 11:05 pm. Tendons and arteries are fine. Index finger was broken. Will have to have physical therapy, but he is doing fine. He is my brave/tough cowboy! We saw about 25 medical personnel between two hospitals and told the story about 25 times to. Ugh! Frustrating! Finally one of the hand surgeons was from Delta and knew all about farming. I have a picture of his wound, however, I don't want to post it because it may make you sick. Thanks to all of my family for their time, phone calls, and support. Will keep you posted about the hand as the healing progresses.

I am so suprised he didn't freakout. He must be turning a corner! I'm glad it wasn't any worse. What a weekend for you!
