First ER Visit April 13, 2011

It’s our first ER visit for Annika.. Hubby wasn’t in town and I was lucky that my sister is still here .. coincidentally, it’s her last week ..

I seriously don’t know what happen but we were doing our regular night routine.. I was halfway reading for the kids when suddenly Annika screamed and said that her left arm is in pain.. She stopped crying after a while but refused to move her arm at all.. I decided to call the doctor and she advised me to go to the ER..

Annika and I headed to the hospital while my sister tries to lullaby Carston to sleep. Thank goodness she handled it like a pro!

We waited for an hour and a half before we were sent to a room and another hour before we were seen by the doctor.. another hour for x-ray and another hour before the doctor came back and and another half an hour before we were told to go home..

Apparently, for whatever reason, Annika dislocated her elbow .. The doctor said he has fixed her elbow and she’s fine to go.. It was 1 AM when we reached home..

This morning, when I woke her up, she still refused to use her left hand and was crying in pain.. I gave her some ibuprofen and made another appointment with the doctor.. It seems that the doctor at the ER didn’t do a good job of fixing her and her elbow was still dislocated! GRR! Wasted our time in ER!

Anyway, Annika was so happy that she couldn’t stop dancing and twirling.. telling me that she’s not in pain anymore..:)

Haiz.. what a day..
