First Trip to Children's Hospital ER Today

What a morning we have had here in the Mount house!

This morning I had the kids together on Gracie's bed as I was getting clothes ready for the day. A fluky thing happened and I turned for one second and Tommy was crying, not sure what happened I thought maybe he is just tired or hungry. Trying both, he still continued to have a cry that was not his normal fussy one. So, I put him to sleep and noticed he was not moving his right arm. To make a long story short, I called the Pediatrician and they said to bring him into Children's ER because he is so little, we needed to make sure he did not break it. Josh and I brought him in and Gracie went to the Bryne's house. Thank goodness for friends!! And off we went...we got in right away, thank God. An Xray later and some manipulating of his right arm, Tommy was all better~!!
Turns out, he had "nursemaids elbow"http://www.chw.org/display/PPF/DocID/22570/router.asp
The awesome Doc said that it was a fluky thing that probably happened just by pulling on it a little bit and it could happen again. SO...we now know some manipulation exercises if it happens again in the future which I do hope it does not. It is AWESOME that we live right by Children's hospital, though we can't put our kids in bubbles, it is nice to have it right nearby.

Needless to say, both children are happily sleeping right now. What a busy morning:)
