Dylan's Arm

So it's 4:30 and my phone rings at work. I could hear crying in the back ground but didn't think anything of it. It was my Mom, Dylan had fallen and he had been crying for about 10-15 minutes straight and holding his arm. I quickly hung up, called the pediatrician and they said to "bring him right in". So I rush out of the office like a mad woman, barking orders for people to shut down my computer, tell the boss where I went - that type of thing. I get home and he's still crying not moving his left arm at all. Oh great! Get to the office and see Dr. Lang - thankfully it's not broke - he had popped his elbow out of joint (nurse maids elbow they call it). The doctor really squeezed and said he was pretty sure it wasn't broke. So he put his hand on the elbow and twisted and oh did Dylan cry. Then he had to do it again and he felt a big pop as it went back in. He cried some more but by the time we got home he was starting to use it.

The hard part was figuring out how it happened. Cody, Dylan, Tyler and Karly were all running (as we have told them a million times not to do inside), my Mom and Tanya were in the kitchen, then they heard crying. They were trying to get to the bottom of it. Karly said Cody fell on his arm, Cody just apologized (but I don't think he did it), and Tyler was admitting he did it. "I do it". .....so who knows. Good thing though it wasn't broke. Brett was relieved to hear it wasn't his throwing arm (football, is it always on the brain? - yes) I'm the mom of 3 boys - I need to get used to this stuff. The pediatrician and I have a GREAT relationship.
