X-ray. Yikes is right.
I couldn't invent these stories if I tried.
Micah took a dip off our swing Monday afternoon, and he landed in a way that hurt his elbow.
It was still swollen and painful the next morning, so we took a quick 90-minute trip to Urgent Care.
X-rays were inconclusive, but it did reveal a dark cloud around his elbow, called a "fat pocket," which often indicates a break. We have another x-ray scheduled for 11 am Friday. For now, he's in a splint and a sling.
Seriously. This week has been a doozy. The worst part of Micah's fall, he will tell you, is the complete humiliation he suffered as he fell. Not from the fall itself, but from the dog poop that somewhat cushioned his fall. Nothing like super stinky shrieking through the house.
Linking up to Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday. Hopefully no x-rays next week.

GOOD GRIEF! You know how to keep it real around there....all the time. So sorry Micah had to suffer the indignity of dog poop, DEFINITELY worse than breaking an elbow. Hope they get it figured out and he gets all better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Yikes! and Yuck, too!
ReplyDeleteThat will be one story that is never forgotten!
I hope Micah is OK and heals quickly.
Poor Micah! Yes, the dog poop would definitely add to the trauma! Hope he heals quickly without any complications!
ReplyDeleteWhat is with your luck lately! Hopefully you had more luck painting this afternoon?!?
ReplyDeleteOh YUK! Poor Micah! Pain and humiliation in equal measure! Hope his elbow turns out to be swelling, not break.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness! Hope all is well now!
ReplyDeletepoor little guy...and the poop...life can be so cruel sometimes!:0
ReplyDeletehang in there mama
ahhh, Jen. . .gotta love weeks like that, when you strap yourself in and hang on for the ride.
ReplyDeletePraying that things slow down, at least a bit for you!
ugh! prayers...
ReplyDeleteOh, Yikes is right! I hope he's ok!
ReplyDeleteDog poo, ewww. Broken elbow, ouch. Poor Micah.
ReplyDeleteDana
May I recommend a plastic bubble for that boy?
ReplyDelete;)
That's it! I knew it! We lead parallel lives. It was the dog poop that lead me to that conclusion. :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to carry the smell of falling around with you.
ReplyDeleteSo that made me laugh out loud. My son once tripped and landed in a pile of horse manure....
ReplyDeleterough week, friend :( and poor micah with the poop adding insult to injury, sheesh!
ReplyDeletePoor Micah! The indignity of falling into dog poop - awful!
ReplyDeleteJen - no one could make up stuff better than this!
I almost spit out my water! Poor poor Micah - nothing like insult to injury. And poor you - having to clean it all up.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Poor Micah! It must have totally sucked to land on dog poop! And poor you! Looks like you've had your hands full these past 2 weeks! Hope things go back to normal soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Poor Micah! Poor you!
ReplyDeleteThat would be quite an indignity falling into poo. I usually only step in it when my feet are bare...ewwwww...either way.
I'm going to scroll ahead to see if they ended up having to cast him.
Thanks for a traumatic little link to the letter Y.
