Poor baby

Madison fell off of the kitchen chair this morning and got up screaming! I took one look at her arm and knew that we were in for a long day. Eric and I rushed her to the ER on base and after many x-rays, we were told that she had a dislocated elbow. To make things more bizarre, one of the bones from her wrist to her elbow is bent! ODD! The other bone is dislocated.

She was complete d-r-a-m-a. This photo was taken after the morphine shot! Much better.

So since her injury was so strange, the orthopedic doctor has referred us to a Pediatric Orthopedic surgeon. There was nothing more they could do for her on base. She was so sweet and brave through all of the chaos.

Funny things that Madison said today (while driving to ER):
1) "My life is over"
2) "My arm will be broken forever"
3) "I'll never dance again"

while waiting in ER is LOTS OF PAIN
1) "I can't do it anymore"
2) "I can't handle this"
3) "I can't take this pain"

after morphine
1) "Mom, the toilet is spinning"
2) "My arm feels like a pickle"

Surgery is imminent to put the bone back in place-we are not sure what happens to the bent bone-Our appointment is tomorrow at 9:50
