I remember this vaguely from medical school but unfortunately I am very aware of what it is today. That is because I pulled Isla up to standing from the floor and dislocated a ligament in her elbow. I felt like the worst mother EVER!!!!!! The pediatrician on call told me how to reduce it over the phone and so after she woke from her nap....that's right i let her sleep for 2 1/2 hours with her arm in this condition (I guess it couldn't have hurt too much then!)....I reduced it. It didn't seem to hurt her too badly. She was immediately better! I couldn't believe how fast it worked. She went right back to playing and smiling! THANK GOODNESS! Of course I was thinking the worst...that I had broken her wrist and she would never be a superstar pianist/surgeon/dentist when she grew up!
So the household is back to normal and she spent the rest of the day splashing in puddles!
