3 times in less than 14 months....

Tuesday (April 20), I had a hair appointment after school, so daddy was going to pick up Michael from Anna's house. Derek called me as I was pulling into Hobbs and said that Anna had called him. Michael has hurt his arm and she wanted him to come look at it. So I went ahead and drove to my appointment. As I was pulling into the hair salon, Derek called again.

In less than 14 months, Michael has been to the ER three times!! Wow. Derek said knew Michael had done something to his arm...break or something, so he was going to take him to the ER. I turned right around and headed back. After driving like a mad crazy, scared momma, I finally got to the ER to hear a screaming baby. Evidently, he and Anna were playing in 'his' room at her house. He reached down to pick up a toy and lost his balance. He tried to catch himself and hold onto the pack-n-play and twisted his arm.

After some X-Rays to determine that it wasn't broken, the doctor knew his elbow was dislocated. He called it nursemaids elbow. After pulling and twisting it back into place, Michael was good to go! It was amazing. He had cried and screamed for over an hour and within five minutes after putting it back into place, he was waving bye bye and reaching for the sucker.

So, needless to say, I didn't get my hair done and Michael is as good as new now! I didn't take any pictures in the ER, but I've taken some in the last few days...

I feel this boy's pain. Hopefully it won't happen any more. We have been lucky so far....knock on wood.

Poor little thing! I know how those injuries can happen! We made our trip to the ER too! Not fun, but to be expected with little boys running around like crazy people! :) Glad he is all better now! He is TOO, TOO cute!!
