The most exciting thing to happen since sliced bread!

Sunday, October 26, 2008

This weekend my parents came into town. It was so nice because we haven't seen them in months. They came in Thursday afternoon and surprised Michaella at daycare. She had no idea and she loved the surprise.

Friday I went ahead and went to work for the first half of the day. Around 10 I get a phone call from home. It is my Mother and she is calling to inform me that there has been an incident. Michaella and Grandma were playing piggyback and when Grandma went to put her down she heard a pop and Michaella now won't stop crying and she won't move her arm. So after a few minutes on the phone with Michaella and her conceding that she couldn't even go to the pumpkin patch because her arm hurt too bad I went ahead and left to access the situation. I decided to take her into the Doctor. After about an hour + in the waiting room with the orneriest 4 year old you've ever encountered we got into the Dr and found out she had gotten "Nursemaid Elbow" which is a dislocation of the elbow. Michaella's seemed to pop itself back in. They still did an x-ray to make sure there wasn't any fracture and also splinted the arm to be safe. So here is the photo diary of the experience. We go back in on Monday to double check with her Doctor, but I'm pretty sure she'll take the splint off. Michaella has loved the attention all weekend. She'll show off her cast to any one who will look. Way to go Grandma you gave her something to remember! (Michaella tells people her Grandma twisted her arm....nice huh?)

That sucks sorry. Nothing worse than "waiting" anywhere with a preschooler! Never heard of that elbow thing. You look gorgeous none-the-less!
