Dun, dun, da, dun....Well it has finally happened. We had to go to the Emergency Room with Brianne. Fortunately, it turned out to be nothing serious. Saturday night Brianne went to bed and about 11pm we heard a thump, whaaaaaaa. When I went into Bri's room she was holding a pink bucket. I took the bucket away and she began holding her arm. I felt around and had her move it for me and all seemed in order and she went back to sleep. At about 1pm she woke up again and started and continued to cry. She wouldn't take any medicine so we decided we should go to the ER to make sure there were not breaks or fractures. They took x-rays and said there were none. The doc said that it was probably something called "nurses elbow" which is basically this: when a child falls they tend to grab on to things close to them and it temporarily pulls their elbow joint out of socket and it pops immediately back. This causes a strain on the muscles and leaves them sore. He said it she was not better by end of the day Sunday to go to her regular doc and have a 2nd set of x-rays done.
I am happy to report Bri is doing just fine!
