Yesterday, we got a call from daycare saying Emma had fallen and is favoring her left arm. Daycare tried icing it, feeling it a bit to see where it hurts and Em would tense up, pull arm away and cry every time her forearm was touched. Travis and I took her to the doc, painstakingly took x-rays, and while the doc was doing his exam, "popped it" back into place. The poor little darling had dislocated her left arm at the elbow!! The x-rays showed little abnormality, so this seemed to be the answer!
Travis ended up taking Em home yesterday and she took a really good nap (of course, she was worn out!!)! She was struggling a bit and definitely wasn't her normal self last night before, during and a little bit after dinner, but like a drop of a hat, all of a sudden she started using it again like nothing happened! I thought maybe the Tylenol kicked in and it would become a problem later in the night! Nope, woke up this morning normal, spunky Emma!! Crazy!!!

How scary! Glad to hear that her arm "popped" back into place! Kids are so much more resiliant than what we think. When we first moved into our house, Kayin fell down the stairs and tumbled over about four times...of course I was crying and calling the emergency room--in less than 5 minutes, she was cuddled up with me and fine. Eyes were okay, speech was great, and her demeanor was just as okay as it was before she took the fall. Scared me HALF TO DEATH!!
