Today Corban had his cast put on. It just so happens to be blue, his favorite color. The doctor we found worked in the U.S. for 18 years and started a hospital in Bangalore for orthopedic and spinal treatment. It was like most of the other hospitals and clinics we've visted...dark and gloomy, but thank you Lord for doctors and hospitals right? And it was incredibly cheaper to have it done here than it would have been in the states.
We got royal treatment b/c they marked our file "Medical Tourism". I'm assuming they did this b/c we're white--although i told the receptionist we live in Bangalore--and medical tourism is for foreigners who come to India just for medical care. I was glad she did this though b/c we got our own personal attendant who put us first in the X-ray line and directed us to the many different offices we had to visit. Otherwise we would have been lost in the chaos.

Blue Cast
Corban cried when they put on the cast, a mixture of pain, heat from the cast drying and missing a nap. When it was all over he was laughing. For a special treat he got to ride in the front seat on the way home--something that can only be done legally in India:)

Hi Colette! I'm Nashville bringing Hudson home from visiting everyone in Texas. He was very impressed with Corban's blue cast, and very interested in how he broke it. How traumatic for all of you. That's the kind of excitement you don't ask for. Kath is very pregnant and doesn't think she can possibly wait until Aug. 27. She said hi. She and Jared have a blog at jaredandkat@blogspot.com. Love you. GK
Corban I like your blue cast. It's like Superman blue...maybe you are turning into him ;-). I will pray that it heals fast!
goodness!!! Can't we just get on a plane all safe and sound. The night before we left for dubai natalie was having so much pain in her right ear. i brought her to an emergency clinic and she has swimmers ear!!! so then the next day when we were packing up a ceramic angel fell off of the wall and put a nice gash in greys head!!! It did not need stitches..just some TLC from mommy. we are all well now!!!
