Worst. Day. Ever.

So I was gonna go to the mall today to celebrate my sis's b-day a day before, and we were going to go out to Chili's for lunch. Before we left, my baby brother was playing. I guess he somehow hurt his right hand because for the rest of the day, he did not use his right hand. We were VERY confused. If we touched his right arm, he would scream and cry. We couldn't touch him. The only person he slightly trusted was my Mother. We went home and tried to figure out what happened. We thought we sprained his wrist, so we found a 24 hour pediatrician(this was at about 9:00 p.m). We go there and my brother still isn't using his arm. They examine him, and I'm freaking out. Turns out...he has nursemaid's elbow. Which is worse than a sprain. It's when the elbow has slipped out of its normal place at the joint. The elbow bone is connected to the elbow joint by elastic bands called ligaments. These ligaments grow stronger and tighter as a child grows older. In little kids and babies, the ligaments are still loose. This makes it easy for the elbow to slip out of place. So he kinda sprained it more than a kid is supposed to. I was FREAKED OUT. So, yeah, horrible day, besides the fact I got new clothes and stuff.
