A young New England Patriots fan got a big surprise from the team thanks to the doctor who helped save his hand after a bad accident. Watch the video above for more on this story.Ashton Turmel, a 6-year-old from Delaware, fractured his arm when he fell 7 feet while at a playground a few weeks ago."I remember falling off backwards," Ashton said.Unfortunately, Ashton also ruptured a major artery in that same arm."They were concerned they would have to amputate his hand," said Ashton's mother.The painful break, however, did not bring tears to Ashton's eyes. Instead, it was his love for the Patriots and the loss of the Tom Brady jersey he was wearing."The only time he cried when we got to the hospital was when they cut the jersey off," Ashton's mother said. "So they cut the sleeve first and cut the whole thing off."Dr. E.J. Caterson, of Nemours Children's Hospital in Wilmington, was able to save Ashton's hand after hours of surgery. But being a Patriots fan himself, Caterson knew that saving Ashton's hand wouldn't be enough for the fellow die-hard New England fan."I said: 'Oh my gosh. I'm in Eagles country and I've got a New England Patriots fan, and I spent 20-plus years working and training in Boston," said Caterson, who has worked at Massachusetts General, Brigham and Women's and Boston Children's hospitals in the past.Caterson made a few calls on Ashton's behalf and the Patriots organization ended up sending a signed Mac Jones jersey and a personal message from the quarterback to the young fan."Now I like Mac Jones because Tom Brady's retired," Ashton said.Ashton's recovery is still going to take a few weeks, but thanks to Caterson, Jones and the Patriots, his tears are gone.
