So Sad!
Last night I had gone with my mother to my grandma's house for girls night out. It was really fun talking with everyone. We got back to my mom's house around 9:30pm or so and then I went home. As I was going up the stairs to our apartment I heard Jennica crying. I asked Jason what happened and he really didn't know. He said that she was laying in front if the fridge and looking under it and then he asked if she wanted to watch a movie and she started crying. So....I tried to touch her arm and she would not let me. I put some ice on it and called my mom. And she said to just keep an eye on it and call the Dr. in the morning. Well she called me back and my dad had asked if maybe she had been bitten by something. Nope, no bites. Then we decided to take her to the emergency room and have her looked at. My mom met us there. While in the emergency room she would not let us even turn her hand palm up. So we knew that something wasn't right. (I knew before we took her. Mother's always know.) Anyway she let the Dr. touch it without even crying. (Which was very good!) But the Dr. knew right away what the problem was. NO BROKEN BONES!!!! YAY!!!! It was something called a Nursemaid's Elbow. (It is very common in children ages 0-3 years old.) Which basically means that her arm was pulled when it was straight out and the radius slipped out of joint. So we were there until about 11:30pm last night. He set it back and she was just fine, and wanted to go home. The Dr. said that it will most likely happen again because it has already happened. It will probably be a very expensive visit without insurance! So please don't pull on your children's arms. So when we got home Jason looked under the fridge and there was her ball that she was trying to get! Stupid Fridge!!!;)

Poor Jennica!! I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious.
Oh, poor little thing! I hope she lucks out and won't have to go through that again. :)
Oh that is so dang sad, it is the worst when your kids are in pain and there is nothing you can do. It was fun seeing you the other night!
Thats a scary thing to go through! Poor thing. I am glad she is ok.
