First BIG Boo-Boo

L.J. had his first big boo-boo today. We were all at the store this morning and L.J. was getting restless (go figure) so Daddy was going to pick him up and carry him on his shoulders. He grabbed his hands and started to lift at the exact moment when L.J. decided this was not what he wanted and went completely limp. The combined force dislocated this elbow, what they call nurse-maids elbow. We were right around the corner from the pediatrician, so we took him in. Daddy, of course, was racked with guilt! I thought it was his shoulder, but the doctor said it was probably his elbow. He tried FIVE times to reset it with no avail, so he sent us to OrthoCarolinas Urgent Care office downtown. Mind you L.J. has not stopped crying this entire time, nor has he allowed me to put him down or even sit down. He finally fell asleep in the car on the way there. He woke up just before they called us back. The doctor ordered x-rays, just to be sure, and while the x-ray techs were positioning his arm for the x-rays it finally popped back into place. After that he was perfectly fine! Nana met us up there with food and moral support. She had to go with him for his x-rays since I can't. No lie ya'll the lady actually looked at me and said. "is there any possibility you could be pregnant?" Gee, ya think!?! Anyways, we let him spend the rest of the afternoon playing with Nana & Sue. Daddy put him back down for another nap around 4:30pm and he has been out ever since. I went in to try to wake him so I could feed him dinner and put on his pj's, but he was not having any of it. Poor kid was pooped! Here's to an uneventful Sunday!
