Our ER visit!

First, I have to say, as far as ER visits, this one was a walk-in-the-park. We were honing-in on packing today, as we leave in 2-3 days, we had a birthday party, roller skating, a sleep over...boys everywhere, busy as usual. Brian picked Grace up with one arm and slung her over his shoulder and then she began to cry. She fussed and cried, we tried to figure out what and where she was hurt. We iced her wrist and she continued to refuse to move her elbow and after calling the after-hour peds #, we took off for the ER. They call it nurse-maids elbow and the peds triage nurse was right. When we got back to our little cubby in the ER, the Dr. came in, advised how he would turn her arm, she would cry and then, be fine and begin using the arm again. Sure enough, a slight arm twist, a pop, and she was as good as new. No medication, no x-rays and as we cheered, "Your thumb is back!" It happened on her left arm, as she told the nurse, not her right! She did try to suck the right thumb, but it just wouldn't do! It's only the 2nd trip to the ER for the kids, who have 21 years between them, so I can't complain! Back to packing!
