After lunch today we were playing around with Jacob and he ended up hurting his arm/elbow. We took him to urgent care where they told us it was going to be 1 1/2 to 2 hr wait. It was around 2:30 and Jacob was very tired from no nap. He wanted to got over to the toys and play. Jared and I took him over and sat down. He would play normally but his left arm hung to his side and he wouldn't use it. If you tried to move it he'd cry. He'd climb up on the chairs with one arm. He had people in the waiting room laughing. He'd walk by the automatic doors and when it would open and scare him he'd run to Daddy. Then he would turn around and look at the door with his suprised look. He then tried blowing at the door. When we saw the Dr they thought he had what they called "nurses elbow" or an elbow out of socket. A common injuryin children. I held him on my lap while she twisted and pulled him arm trying to fix it. He screamed in pain. She didn't hear it pop back into place and gave us a ball to see if he'd use that arm. He wouldn't, so after time she tried it again with no success. It was horrible! She decided to take x-rays of his arm. Daddy went with him since I couldn't. Jacob fell asleep while we waited for the doctor to return. No fractures seen on x-ray. They told us he had most likely sprained his elbow. He needs to keep his arm in a sling and take tylenol for pain. When we got home I held him until he fell asleep and then I lay him on the couch. He was none to happy about putting his arm in the sling but did ok with it after awhile. It was too big for him so I decided to sew it to better fit him. Daddy went outside to get some corn and Jacob ran to the window to watch him. He called, "Dada" and waved to him as he walked back to the house.
