Nursemaid's Elbow

This was our first insta-care trip. Someone (I won't say who because they already feel bad enough) picked up Avery and we heard a pop in the arm. After that Avery wouldn't use her left arm and cried when we touched it. I was dreading having to get expensive x-rays but it was not necessary. She had Nursemaid's Elbow which is dislocation of the elbow joint caused by a sudden pull on the extended pronated arm. Anyways it was easy to pop back into place and Avery was back to trouble in minutes. Here are a few photos of her at the clinic.
