Tonight Emmie was sitting on Julianne's lap, leaning back and then having Julianne pull her back up. On one pull, Julianne heard a pop in Emmie's right elbow and the kiddo started screaming. After a few minutes of her holding it, we decided to take her to the clinic. The way there and in the waiting room she would use her other arm, but not her right one. As you can imagine, lots of crying all the way. The doctor said it was probably just "nursemaid elbow." He did a few twists of her arm, it popped and within a couple minutes when I asked her where her owee was she showed me the wrong arm. So just like that the pain was gone and she was running out to get her stickers. Phew. Good thing we didn't have to amputate.
And sorry to Aaron and Whitney whose night of game playing with us was cut short. At least we ate some good grub, right?

Poor Emmie and Lucky you guys! My PT school classmate got put in foster care for a day when her cause of nursemaid elbow was being investigated!
