Leaving 2008 with a BANG!!!
What is a good way to wrap up 2008? Yesterday started out just like any other day of the week, Gwen and Harrison played and we did the regular old house hold stuff. 
Gwen has a band-aid on her arm but there is nothing wrong with it. She did keep saying that London wears a band-aid. I guess it is a new accessory. Later that night we had a real accident with her arm (see previous post) and what the night boiled down to was:One really sad girl with a hurt arm
One trip to the ER with her dad
One really worried mom
One new stuffed animal for doing what the Doctor said to do while she was there ( the most expensive stuffed animal we will ever pay for)
One hour after being in the ER a trip to McDonalds for an ice cream coneOne case of Nursemaid Elbow
One hospital giant hospital bill
And some piece of mind that she is alright, thank goodness.
This morning she woke up like nothing had happened, but she did tell me " we saw the doctor and he made my arm feel better." over and over. She does like the little animal she got there and I feel pretty good that we are not dealing with a cast today. Talk about a way to end the year.

Yea for no broken bones!! Have a happy new years!
This won't be the last injury, but enjoy the calm before the storm (other injurys)
Welcome to the nursemaid elbow club! There is a lot us in the club and in fact because they have James's weird-o genes it probably won't be the last time, and our kids arms come out a lot. Allie twice and Liesel once so far. Really stressful at the time, don't know if it helps but the next time isn't as tramatic...

Oh we have been warned about that one. Poor Gwen, though I am glad it's not broken! The ER is almost as painful for the parents trying to keep them contained in one little room for hours. I would have splurged for the stuffed animal too. Gwen welcome to the band-aid club, we always seem to be sporting one around here. You're not kidding 2008 went out with a bang, hopefully that is the end of your injuries for awhile (yeah and watch out for Mother's Day).
I'm so glad it wasn't serious and that she is fine. Don't agonize over it too much; things just happen. Love,

The horrible nursemaid elbow. It has happened to Megan twice, and I hate it. The first time it happened to Megan we had no insurance, so Dr. Mike from the schooling of the internet, repaired her little arm like a champ.
I'm glad Gwen is okay. My kids have never been really injured (knock on wood) I'm sure it's scary! Happy New Year!
I'm so glad she's ok. A good friend of mine has a daughter who did that a couple years ago at church. Scary!! I bet you were so relieved that it wasn't broken.
That is such a scary thing. Ask Sam about it. She had it when she was a kid. Sent my mom into panics...good thing I never did anything to send her into panics.
I'm glad nothing serious was wrong. Both of my kids have had that same thing. We ended up taking Ty to the dr for his and he explained how to fix it if it ever happened. It came in handy when it happened to Avery! But a trip for an ice cream cone always makes me feel better!
