As a follow-up to the photos from earlier today...it was a scary day. But when your baby is hurting, you do whatever you can to make it better.
There was something wrong with A's arm. I tend to be the wait and see kind of girl, but with A, if something is wrong, I'd rather go overboard.
It turned out to be nursemaid's elbow. What a strange name. One telenurse, the pediatrician, and a pediatric orthopedist later...he was fine. Hours of doctors, one small movement and he was better.
I made it through the day, but barely. I was nervous, scared, feeling guilty, protective, and every other emotion possible. Your child hurting is the worst thing in the world. The absolute worst. I made it through the day and then I cried. I don't know how I am going to handle a lifetime of this. My poor baby.
He was a trooper, only cried when she moved his arm back into place. But I felt like a failure. Tomorrow's another day, hopefully he'll be his happy self and I'll be able to breathe a little easier...
Poor little guy! I hope he's feeling much better now!
