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.

You Bergers are in some kind of contest to see who can get the most sympathy!! I'm assuming it was Joe who abused the poor little thing!!! She doesn't look any worse for the trip to insta care.

I think that you should also mention that Nursemaid Elbow is a common injury among children 1-5 that can happen very easily.
Poor little Avery. Glad it was a quick fix.
so glad she is ok
Glad she's OK---she doesn't seem too phased by the incident.

Chelsey Elaine Hansen!!!
I don't think you should let Chelsey around your child anymore. She's a dangerous woman.
Yes, my days as an unofficial and unpaid nanny for siblings may be numbered. Alas...
Psh, looks like she was back to dishing out sass in her chair at the doctors office. =)
Glad to hear Avery is good!
