Aiden's Broken Elbow

Its been about 10 days since it happened. I was at a bridal shower for Jeremy's cousin's fiancee when I got a call from Jeremy saying that Aiden fell off the porch swing and had been crying for over an hour. So I headed for home knowing that we could very easily have a super long night ahead of us. When I got back to the house, Aiden was still crying but kept telling us he wanted to go to bed. We decided that maybe some of the crying was his pure exhaustion since it was way past his bedtime. So we put him to bed in hopes that he would feel better in the morning. NOT the case. He woke up in just as much pain as he was the night before. So off we went to the ER.
The ER was sloooooooow as always... it took over an hour just to get an x-ray. Then another hour before they looked at it and told us what was going on. They said there wasn't a break and that it was probably nursemaids elbow (a dislocation that happens often in kids). The PA came in and "adjusted it" or "popped it back in to place" and said he should be fine in a few minutes. Another hour passed and there was very little improvement. (This should have been my first clue that they were wrong) They discharged us with instructions to follow up with a bone doctor. (2nd clue!!!)
When we got home he seemed to be doing a little better and the next day I thought I saw even more improvement. That evening is when I changed my mind. He was still in a good deal of pain and I was feeling SoOoOo bad for him. We called the bone doctor and got an appointment for the next day. They wanted to see him at the office in Deer Valley (for those of you in Vegas, it would be like having to travel to Logandale to see the doc!!! SOOOO Far away!) because that's where the Pediatric bone dr. is.
Pretty happy kid for having a hurting arm... This is while we were waiting in the bone dr's office. To make an already long story a little shorter...
They found a break in his elbow. Apparently pediatric elbows are a specialty and the ER had NO CLUE what they were looking at so they GUESSED! UGH!!!!!!!!
We got the cast put on and he was a new person. Today we are going to get it changed cause it STINKS sooooooo bad! Luckily there is an office close by that can take care of that.
