Wowie, zowie, oh what an owie

The Jolley girl's have suffered from a few owies in the past but on Wednesday, Sammi got an owie so big it required immediate medical attention- a first for us. Poor girl! This is what happened (some details supplied by Alexis- Mommy was throwing something away when this all went down):

• At around 4pm, Mommy left her bedroom with Sammi on the ground and Alexis on the bed
• Mommy heard Alexis say "Sammi get up here"
• Mommy heard Sammi crying
• When Mommy went back into the room Sammi would not move her left arm and her left hand/wrist was bright red
• Alexis told Mommy she was pulling Sammi up onto the bed and then Sammi started to cry
• Well, after 20 minutes of crying and still no left arm movement, Mommy called the doctor
• The doctor's office said they could see us at 5pm
• By the time we saw the doctor, Sammi was crying less but still not moving her arm
• The doctor manipulated her left forearm, holding her wrist and elbow and popped her bones back into place
• Sammi had "nursemaid's elbow," which meant one of the bones in her forearm had popped out of place when Alexis tugged on her arm (which is why they say not to lift babies or twirl them by their hands)
• The doctor had us test her arm by offering Sammi a sticker to her left side- she was fixed! She reached right out and grabbed it- yay!

Anyway, we need to be careful of her arm for he next month or so. The ligaments have been stretched and this could easily happen again. Besides that, she is back to normal!
