Poor little guy!

Yesterday morning I was on the bed with Brayke hanging out. I picked him up holding his left arm and he started to cry. I didn't realize that picking him up was what caused him to scream until a few minutes later. After I observed him more, I noticed he wasn't using his left arm at all! I got a little worried and called the doctor. Which he wanted to see him. After the doctor examined his little arm he decided there wasn't a broken bone but sent me to do xrays just in case. They turned out okay. Thank goodness. Today I had an appointment with the "Orthapedic Doc." Turns out he had a dislocated elbow! So he put it back in place for Brayke and he was immediately fine.
It was kinda scary. Brad is gone to California so I told him what was going on over the phone. He asked me if child services had come to question me. And no, they didn't but it kinda had me worried. Anyway, I will definately be more careful with him now.

That's scary. I'm glad it was just his elbow and not any broken bones.

That would be very scary, especially since thay usually stop crying not start crying when you pick them up. That is good that the doctors were able to figure it out, and he is doing fine now.

That is sad. It is sad when you can tell they hurt, but have no idea what hurts.
Do you have any idea how it happened?

That would be scary. At least it is over and it healed fast.

Wow! That is just so scary! I have heard of doctors or nurses questioning the parents. I guess maybe they have to but geez! I'm sure glad it was an "easy" fix. But it is sure hard to have your kid in pain!
