Amy Dislocates Arm

About 20 minutes after finally arriving at my parents' house to visit with them, my sister's family, and some cousins who had come for part of the holiday weekend from out of town, Amy tripped over something outside and fell on her left elbow, dislocating her arm. I saw her fall, and it looked bad. Unfortunately, it was. We left our kids with family and rushed to the hospital. They took care of her fairly quickly as far as hospital experiences go. Here are some pictures. You can see the bone where it shouldn't be and see how much her arm swelled up.



We were supposed to watch our neices overnight tonight, but my sister offered to take our kids for the night, instead, so that was nice. Amy didn't break anything, but there may have been a tiny chip off a bone. She will probably need to wear the soft cast and sling for at least a week, and is supposed to see an orthopedic doctor early this week. I'll follow this up with a post including the x-rays.

Wes/Amy Sorry to hear about the arm, it looks bad, but sounds that the look is worst than it could have been.
