Last night Grace fell when trying to get down from the kitchen chair (which she has gotten down from daily for the last 2 or so months). After a trip to the ER, which they said there was no break, but she did have Nursemaids elbow. They reset the tendon in the elbow and by this morning was doing much better, but still not doing too much with that arm. At about 12:30 today we received a call from her pediatrician, who said that the radiologist completed the final read on her X-ray and did see a fracture. They sent us to a Peds Orthopedic who rechecked the X-rays and examined her. He felt that she needed a full cast (which will come off in 3 weeks).
So now we are home resting, hoping that we don't need to see another doctor or hospital for a very, very long time.
For those of you that don't know, a week and a half ago, we spent two nights in the ER and four days in the hospital due to complications from the stomach flu.
