ER

Johnny had his 1st trip to the ER last night!  He was at his babysitter's house and somehow twisted his arm while playing on the floor and said he heard something snap.  He couldn't move it and it was obvious that he was in severe pain.  He cried when it happened but by the time I got there to pick him up, he was very subdued, calm, and quiet.  We took him to the ER at Carle and got right in (thank goodness!) and Johnny was very brave but in a LOT of pain when they took X-rays and had to move it.  When they were done, he just cried and kept saying "This is the worst day ever".  Poor thing.  Fortunately it wasn't broken and he had a pulled elbow where the tendon slips over the bone so the doctor had to pop it back into place.  No fun either (very painful!) but he could move his arm and his personality came back within minutes after that and he's been fine ever since!  Thank goodness!  A summer w/a broken arm didn't sound like any fun to any of us!
