boo boo

We had a busy weekend filled with a little scare.

Adam took his big test on Saturday... 8 hours of math... YUCK!!! But its over and he thinks he did okay. We wont find out the results for 12 weeks.

Then Sunday we joined the church we have been going to since we moved. We really love it. There are so many young families and tons of ways to get involved and meet new people. We already found a Sunday school class filled with young mom and dads. We are really blessed to have found such a wonderful place.

But at church Grace got a "boo boo". We went to pick her up from the nursery and she was crying. This is very unlike her. She goes into the nursery happy and gets super excited when we get there to pick her up. But yesterday she wasn't happy to see us. They said she had just started crying about 10 minutes earlier. Anyway, we got to the car and we realized she was not moving her right arm at all. I really noticed b/c she didn't want me to bend her arm to put it through the arm strap of her car seat. And she wouldn't suck her fingers (like she does to sooth herself when she is normally upset). I told Adam I would run back in just to make sure that something hadn't happened. I thought well maybe she just fell or something. The teachers were gone so the church director called them (who just also happen to be not the normal teachers) and they said they were dancing when she started crying. So we left and I called the pediatricians after hours number and left a message. We got home and she was still upset and would not move her arm... we even tried to bribe her with candy. I had to feed the baby so while I fed the baby we waited for the pediatrician to call and thankfully he did b/c we were about to head to the ER. He called and told us to come to his house b/c it sounded like a dislocated elbow or shoulder! (Long story, short... when we first started going to our new pediatrician we found out that he lived just a neighborhood away, so he knew we lived close). So we went to his house and sure enough she had a dislocated elbow and he was able to pop it back into place. OUCH! Grace hardly cried. I think it was really more of a relief. By time we left his house she was already back to her normal 2 year old self. The doctor told us that it happens quite often with kids, just by grabbing them by the hand the wrong way. The church called today to make sure she was okay... they felt so bad. But really it sounds like something I could have done by just grabbing her arm the wrong way. We are so lucky to have such a great pediatrician! He saved us big bucks by not having to go to the ER. We want to do some sort of thank you for him... any ideas? Maybe a gift card to a local restaurant?

Oh and to make things even crazier... Adam left on business yesterday afternoon to Nashville for TWELVE days! What am I going to do without my hubbie for that long. How did military wived do it?? I'm tired already and its only day 1! :)
