You have got to be kidding me.

Seriously. Has anyone out there ever had to take a child to two emergency appointments for different injuries in one day? Dentist this morning and ER tonight. She and Connor were roughhousing (playing "bad guy and pet" actually, a game she invented) and Connor must have pulled her arm, because it dislocated her elbow. Neither of them were sure what exactly happened, so we waited a few hours for the drama to wear off to make sure she was really hurt, then i hauled her to childrens hospital. We got the same nurse practitioner that sewed up her ear back in july, who is wonderful. she keeps telling me that she wants miriam as a grandbaby, cuz she doesn't have any, and "you are just what i am looking for," and would her grandparents mind sharing?

We had suspected the elbow, as it has happened numerous times, but the last time it happened the doctor showed us how to re-set it ourselves. it didn't work. (don't worry, its nothing drastic, just holding the elbow and bending the arm) so then we weren't sure what it was, and had to make sure it wasn't broken. *sigh*

my miriam.

Wow, she is one tough girl. That is good since she has two brothers :).

She's a wild child, that one! Hope the teeth and elbow heal up. I cringe just thinking about a dislocated elbow...or any other joint for that matter, ewww.
