Deja Vu

I think this has happened to us before....Yesterday, my new plan for my life was in full swing.  I have been setting my alarm to get up earlier than everyone else to excercise.  Yuck, I know.  I have done it for two whole days now. :o)  I am a nerd, but I decided the best way to accomplish all the lofty goals I have is to write them down.  So, I bought a notebook just for the occasion and before I go to bed, I write everything I need or want to accomplish for the next day in my trusty notebook.  So far, for two whole days, it has worked perfectly and I have checked everything off my list.  So, Stephen had just left for school and I was laying on the floor doing situps.  Pyper was sitting next to me on the floor eating a banana.  She tumbled over somehow from a sitting position and her head bumped into me.  It seemed like a harmless thing and I didn't think anything of it until she started screaming hysterically and wouldn't calm down.  I picked her up and she just wouldn't calm down.  She had a mouthful of banana and the rest clutched firmly in her hand.  I thought maybe she bumped her nose or something, but looked fine.  Then, I realized she wasn't moving her arm and would cry whenever I moved it.  I called Stephen after she had calmed some and would start whimpering at the slightest movement.  He came home and we headed to her doctor's office.  This entire time, she was clutching her banana and would scream if I tried to take it away.  She finally relinquished it at the doctor's office. They sent us to the Urgent Care in the same building which probably worked better since the Urgent Care waiting area was empty and the doctor's office was overflowing with people.  They made me sit her on a scale to weigh her which sent her into a fresh batch of hysterics.  She was fine as long as I was holding her and not moving her around at all.  The doctor finally came in and felt her arm a little, but it made her so hysterical that he decided she needed an x-ray.  I was surprised since I figured she just pulled out her elbow like Kensley used to do all the time.  So, then I worried there was something more serious going on.  I guess he was worried because of the trauma and said moving it around if something was broken could cause more damage.  The x-rays were traumatic to say the least.  It was pretty awful.  Of course, the doctor didn't see anything on the x-rays.  So, then he decided it was just nurse maid elbow, which is what I figured.  He came in and took her arm and had it popped back into place in half a second.  She was immediately better.  I really need to learn how to do this procedure!  The main reason he was concerned it was something else is because it usually happens when you grab your kid's arm and pull on them, like if you are in a hurry.  Since I told them she fell over I guess he thought it was something else.  I guess she fell just right!  I guess next time, because I am pretty sure there will be a next time with our track record, I should just start moving her elbow around even if she is screaming bloody murder until it pops back in itself.  More likely, I will probably just take her in again!
