elbow!
Yep, she did it again. Abigail was jumping up and down while I was holding her hands and all of a sudden I heard that ominous click, and she started to scream. I thought we would be heading to the ER but I was able to relocate it with the help of a friend (who is an RN)!! As soon as we heard the click, she was able to use it again.This saved Abigail and I a trip to the ER and about $800.
Abigail was back to playing with the kids a few minutes later. She even did a handstand on the couch to show everyone how much better she was feeling. But it is scary how quickly she dislocated it again. It has only been 3 weeks since we were at the ER in Charlotte having it relocated. Plus it seems like it is taking a lot less to dislocate it.

OUCH!!! Poor sweetheart!! You might want to see a pediatric orthopaedic specialist to find out why she's dislocating her elbow so easily.
Hugs for you both!
Oh man, that bites!! Sounds like the cast option might be the way to go, eh? Poor girlie.
Ouchies. I have never dislocated anything but I could just imagine the pain. Hopefully they find out why it is happening.
