Her body went one way and her arm, the other....it was slow motion watching it.

Emerson dislocated Landry's elbow yesterday afternoon "being helpful" and trying to roll her from stomach to back.

Five hours later in the ER Landry stopped crying when they popped it back in place.  It was a nightmare.  Landry is such an easy going baby and has never, ever cried more than a slight yell in her life.

Thinking about the things to come, blow my mind at this point.  ::::sigh::::

Poor baby, but I'm glad she's feeling better.

Hang in there - accidents are bound to happen!

ProwdMommy

Oh no! That makes me so sad for her.  How horrible that must have been for you too.

ooh, that sucks.

be extra careful with your kids arms... some kids are more prone to disloating elbows... my niece was like that, and so was I.  My dad dislocated mine just playing with me... and my niece used to have her's pop out ALL THE TIME - the slightest thing would do it.

i'm super anal about making sure i grab them under their armpits at all times b/c of it.

hopefully it was a fluke and won't happen again!!

Goldie-I took Landry to the pedi this morning just to double check and make sure everything was good.  All the doctors between last night and this evening have said it would happen again.  They have all showed me how to pop it back in place.   I'm ready-I think.  

She's such a sweet, good natured baby....born at 4 lbs and now, 18 lbs-She's a trooper!  Perhaps, at some point, she'll catch a break (in a good way).  :" )

Poor little peanut.  Glad she's doing better.

Aw, poor kiddo.  I'm glad she's ok!

leviandlandensmom

Ouch, poor thing! Glad she's okay!

  Poor thing.  I cannot even imagine.

Yikes, poor little girl! Glad she's better!

Poor thing!  I bet Emerson felt really bad!  I know Abby cries when she accidentally hurts her sisters.  Like she is playing with them and hits them with a toy that she is showing them.

Poor Landry (and poor Emerson, I'm sure she feels bad). As someone who has dislocated her knee many times, I can only imagine how it felt for Landry and what it was like for you (given my husband's reaction when he's seen my knee dislocate). And, like Goldie said, it will probably happen again, but it probaby won't hurt as much as the first time. **hugs** to you all

I'm so sorry.  (having spent a night in the pedi ER last month) it is so stressful.  Hugs for Emerson and Landry.  I'm sure it scared big sister, and hope miss Landry is feeling good and has lots of smiles today). 

My niece Morgan, ....sister told me anytime she would have a hold of her wrist... if she pulled away against her, she would dislocate her elbow.  My sis has 4 kids, but only Morgan would have the dislocation happen now and then.  ((HUGS))

poor peanut im sure your oldest felt awful too. Im glad shes feeling better!!

amanda31H

Ohhhh poor baby girl.  Sorry that happened.  I can't imagine being in the ER with one of my girls. 

nikinikinine

I can't even imagine how terrifying that must have been and how heartbroken you were hearing little Landry cry like that. Big HUGS mama. Poor Emerson must have been so upset too. It's hard to be a big sister and not know how to help the best way!

It happened to my oldest. Thankfully we were at a playground with a friend who was a PA and she saved us a trip to the ER and showed us how to pop it back. It was probably 18  months before it happened again and I was surprised at how calmly I just popped it back into place and instantly she was fine. Poor big sister! I was the one who grabbed my oldest and I felt terrible for days.
