Friday morning Tommy was helping Henry reach for a toy and accidentally pulled on his left arm too hard. After listening to Henry scream and cry for almost an hour and noticing that he wasn't using his left arm at all I decided to bring him in to the ER. Thankfully my sister was able to watch Tommy and my mom was able to help me at the hospital. They quickly diagnosed it as nursemaid's elbow and were able to manuver it back into place. Henry screamed while they fixed it, but within seconds was laughing and doing all of his tricks- clapping, waving, and "so big." He kept looking at his hand as if he couldn't figure out why it didn't work earlier. It was hard to see him hurting so badly and difficult to help Tommy understand that I knew it was an accident, but somehow we all survived the day and aren't too much worse for the wear :) Hopefully we won't have anymore trips to the ER in the near future!
