Week of March 20 -27 2006

What a week we had! Hannah had her first trip to the ER. We were getting out of Costco, and I went to pick her up from the umbrella stroller and somehow by me pulling her arm a bit, it got dislocated. It was called Nursemaid Elbow. We didn’t really know what happened, other than she was screaming in pain and refused to use her arm. Our Ped was closed, so I carefully packed her up and went to the ER. She was crying and screaming. It was obviously very scary. We saw the triage nurse, where HB gave Hannahtude b/c she didn’t want to use the under tongue thermometer. We finally convinced her it wouldn’t hurt. We were put on the fast track to be seen, but that was still a 45 mins wait. About 5-10 mins before they called us, HB sat up and said it doesn’t hurt anymore. Somehow her lying her arm in a certain position, it went back into place. We still had her seen and they said its very common..and showed us how to put it back if it happens again.
Before that, Scotty took HB to Gymnatics, where she learned how to do a Cartwheel. She hasn’t quite gotten the hang of it but she keeps practicing! I had my 2x a year MOPS consignment sale shopping to do on Sat morning. I managed to buy a ton of clothes for the kids, and some toys. Nate loved his dinosaur puppets and his Rescue Hero figures. Hannah got a Dressy Bessy Doll, a Barbie Case, and some stuff for her dollhouse.
We spent some time outside as well this weekend. The weather is getting nicer and nicer
