Murphy's Nursemaid's Elbow

Poor Murph was back in the ER. No double ear infection this time...but Nursemaid's Elbow. Basically dislocated it playing with Trevor. It's actually happened a few times when he's cried holding his arm in the past. Once I remember vividly when we were in Basha's grocery store in AZ and he was probably about a year. We walk walking holding my hand and then sort of fell and was screaming crying. Probably the old Nursemaid's Elbow acting up then too. The Dr. said most likely it popped itself back into place. This time the Dr. had to do it. He said kids outgrow this, and occasionally need surgery to tighten things up, but to just be careful. Poor little bugger but let me tell you...that kid is the best. He was very quiet but managed to laugh when the Dr. heard birdies in his belly and smelled his stinky toes. Murphy told the nurse thank you when she gave him a popsicle...told her he like to like them and bite them. Bless his heart when we were walking out and he wanted to stop and play with the toys and "maybe the Easter Bunny could bring me toys like these!"
