Dislocated Elbow

Luke and I were at the Y this morning when I got a call from Eli's teacher.
Turns out he had a little fall on the playground resulting in lots of tears.
The crying had subsided but he wasn't moving or wanting to use his right arm.
He was trying to eat applesauce with his left arm so they called to let me know.
Luke and I went straight to the school.
I called Dr. D on the way to let him know what was going on.
He said to bring him in if he still wasn't moving it or seemed to be in pain.
When I got to the school, he was outside playing at recess, appearing happy, 
but immediately wanted to tell me about his boo boo.
I thought he was okay until he tried to grab my hand with his right hand and started crying.
Decision made, we were off to see Dr. D.
Mrs. Benoit gave me Eli's "owie report" and he gave her a one-armed hug.

When we got to Dr. D's, Eli told everyone his elbow hurt (by pointing).
Turns out he is a smart kid, it was dislocated :(
Thankfully, Dr. D was able to pop it right back into place with no problems or tears.
We were out of there in 10 minutes with his loot ;-)


Although he is still a bit sore (and will be for a couple days),
Eli is doing great now and has decided his kisses make it all better :-)


Love this happy boy!!!
