First Trip to the Emergency Room:

Allison had a fall Saturday night that has resulted in a broken elbow. She was trying to climb onto a stool - to color a picture for her cousin's birthday - and she slipped.

Trying not to be a paranoid parent - since there was no swelling or abnormalities - I decided to wait it out and she how she did with her arm the next day before rushing to the E.R.

Needless to say, she was having troubles, so I took her to Children's Hospital. Her X-ray determined a break in her elbow (even though she kept pointing to her wrist). She's wearing a splint and Peanut's sling until it gets casted this week - hopefully it will heal fast!

Here's a picture of Allison passed out in the car after the ride home from the hospital:


Nothing heals bones better than chocolate milk - right?
