The child will be the death of me!!!

So, fall is here and we love to enjoy "most" aspects of it as a family. On Friday evening we decided while it was still a little bit light out to put together a big leaf pile and let Jacob jump in it. All was going nicely until Jacob took his first official jump of fall and with a beautiful belly flop, came up crying. Ok, so sometimes this happens and its just he scared himself or bumped himself but something in his cry was different this time.....mom's just know.

He came out and his left arm was very limp and he couldn't even pick it up, panic, yes panic set in. But I did stay nice and calm and we took him inside and the child that never stops moving unless he is asleep, just wanted to lie around. We made him move his arm this way and that and it wasn't going over very well at all. After calling the Dr. and them having us hyper extend his arm, and the yelps that followed....off to the ER.

So thankfully it wasn't too packed on a Friday night in the ER.....got right in and then he was flexing his arm like nothing was wrong, although he did say it did "hurt still".....so off to the xray. Fun times wearing the lead coat trying to hold his on his lap....fun times! Long story short the Dr. suspected that he had sprained his elbow and something like nursemaids elbow may have occurred (basically bone pops out, then pops in) and he would be fine....so out we walked with Jacob and his little sling and who knows what kind of hospital bill to follow....sigh....that boy will kill me yet!
