I'm on my way to the hospital with her right now. She won't/can't move her left arm.
Pray.
***UPDATE***
Katie is fine now. She experienced a dislocated elbow sometimes called nursemaid elbow. Apparently, on some children it doesn't take much to dislocate an elbow, and once it happens it likely occurs frequently after that. So after the doctor manipulated and **popped** her elbow back in place he taught me how to do it for the future.
I'm so relieved that it wasn't something big! I was trying to think what in the world she might have done - she hasn't had a big fall in the last day or so that stands out. She was "dancing" with John Paul this morning and that likely did it. Poor thing! But, she's fine now, running around and playing with big brother right now! Thank you all for the prayer support! It's a comfort dropping the vaguest of prayers in here as you're running out the door and knowing you're covered in prayer! You guys are the best!

Thank you all! We're just getting back home!
Katie is fine now. She experienced a dislocated elbow sometimes called nursemaid elbow. Apparently, on some children it doesn't take much to dislocate an elbow, and once it happens it likely occurs frequently after that. So after the doctor manipulated and **popped** her elbow back in place he taught me how to do it for the future.
I'm so relieved that it wasn't something big! I was trying to think what in the world she might have done - she hasn't had a big fall in the last day or so that stands out. She was "dancing" with John Paul this morning and that likely did it. Poor thing! But, she's fine now, running around and playing with big brother right now! Thank you all for the prayer support! It's a comfort dropping the vaguest of prayers in here as you're running out the door and knowing you're covered in prayer! You guys are the best!

So glad it was "nothing" (even though it really was something!) but that she's fine now! How scary though!
