Makenna's first trip to the ER...and better be her last!

So tonight after getting home from dinner, I took Makenna by the hand and started leading her to her room to get her jammies on. At that moment Charlie decided he was going to tickle her, so she threw herself down with her hand firmly grasped in my hand. I felt a pop, but it was nothing more than the 'normal' pop of joints when we're swinging her around and what not, and she didn't cry right away so I didn't worry or think twice about it. However, by the time I got her to her bedroom to put her jammies on, she was grabbing her elbow and saying boo-boo and had started to cry at that point.
At first her cries were easily quieted by distracting her, so I didn't worry about it, but they got harder and harder to calm, and she just let her arm danlge at her side. I called the emergency on-call pediatrician and he told us to go to the ER. At this point she was crying hard, non-stop, so I was officially worried.
We got to the ER, met with the triage nurse and sat in the waiting room for about 20 minutes before Mak got antsy and started exploring. About 10 minutes later, we notice she is using her arm more and more and is actually putting weight on it and picking up her teddy bear and her blankie with it. The final test was "Itsy Bitsy Spider"...she performed the arm/hand motions flawlessly.
So after much debate and a 'surprise' visit from Grandma, we decided to talk to the triage nurse again and see what she thought. She couldn't legally tell us to go home, but she strongly hinted..."We're here 24/7 so if the symptoms 'mysteriously' reappear, you know where to find us, I have 4 daughters, I know how these things go..." So we took the hint and saved us a TON of money and took our perfectly healthy, mobile armed, weight bearing baby back home....

She is sound asleep in her crib now!

The nurse says a lot of the times the joints will kind of twist out a bit, but not completely dislocate, and they will usually slip back in to place. She said that is what probably happened in this case.

But anyway, that was Makenna's first trip to the ER...and it better be her last! Mama can't handle all this stress!
