I thought that Lauren might have dislocated her elbow yesterday. Not from a fall, but from a pull. We were outside enjoying the beautiful day. I was holding Asher and trying to help Lauren up by grabbing one of her hands. As I pulled her up she lost her balance and her arm did a slight twist. She rolled on the ground holding her elbow. The next few minutes were what I like to call "mommy blur" when too many thoughts and worries enter your mind at once. I called Andy once..no answer...I called the church..no answer. I called my parents (because parents know everything)...no answer. Her elbow looked normal..so I knew that was a positive...but she refused to move it. She was screaming and crying..Asher was crying. I kept calling Andy but found out later that he had left his phone in the car. I called Ms. Tammy from church to seek medical advise and she said that if she couldn't move it...then go to the hospital clinic. By the time I got to the hospital..Lauren had stopped crying and was moving her arm. When I got Asher into his stroller..Lauren was telling me jokes. Then my "mommy blur" cleared...and I began having these thoughts.."if she seems ok..do I really want to take 2 small kids in the hospital by myself and have them wait for who knows how long..when they could be at home taking their naps?...but on the otherhand what if something is wrong?' So I called Ms. Tammy again and she said that if Lauren was not in pain and she could straighten her arm..then she probably had not dislocated it...but had pulled something. So instead of going into the hospital, we went to Wendys for Frostys instead.
I am posting pics from last night so that you can see that Lauren is ok. Notice the flip flops she is wearing in one of the pictures...yep those are mine. She is going to have her daddy's feet. Also please know that it is common for my kids to be half dressed.
Last night Andy and PVBC hosted the "Pudding Olympics" Here are a few pictures that capture a glimpse of the fun and the mess!
