Ouch!

 Apparently “nursemaid’s elbow” is common among kids.  I can’t believe after all the kids we have had through our home that we have never had this before (Erin is good like that, we hadn’t done Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease before her either!).  It was awful!
She was wearing too small footie jammies to start and when I went to take them off of her, she was lying on the couch and I was pulling the sleeve down while she was trying to pull her arm out.  There was a pop and a scream and then she sat with her arm bent and refused to move an inch.  If I shifted at all, she would scream and cry.  I felt horrible and knew something was wrong.
Nana came over in her jammies to hang out w the other kids while I took Erin.  Quick fix by Dr Molly and all was fine.  Here’s to hoping that doesn’t happen again, it was no fun!
