Poor Harry...

Yesterday, the kids and I invited a bunch of their friends from Little Explorers out to base to play at the Funspot. It was all going wonderfully until Harry came down from the playing equipment (its a HUGE treehouse- SO cool!) and was wailing that his arm hurt really badly. We checked him out and he seemed to be okay, plus he wanted to keep playing, so we let him go. He fussed a little at bedtime last night and woke up howling again this morning. After a quick phone call to Ga-ga the World-Famous Hockey Coach for some "wrist check" techniques, Jay and I determined we should take him in.

After a few x-rays (which he LOVED) and the cursory temperature, bp, weight checks (which he HATED), we found out that he had a dislocated elbow. They said its pretty common in little kids and shouldn't have any lasting damage since we caught it relatively soon. It is pretty painful for them (again, Harry with the high pain tolerance!), but he seems to be like 98% better already after the doc popped it back into place. 

In the meantime, Ems went to work with Jay... I will apologize to everybody around as the Queen of Destruction probably helped everybody NOT get any work done this morning!! hehe....
