Eli's week of sickness.

My poor little boy was sick last week and we had another trip to the ER. Last Saturday we were all up at Dad's house and he's got this ball pit and Eli literally dives into the balls and Saturday night he did that like he always does and he screamed out and continued to cry all night, till he finally fell asleep. He wasn't using his right arm at all, so when he woke up at 4am Sunday morning and was screaming and laying flat on his back looking pitiful and still not moving his right arm, we knew we had to take him to Children's. The doctor said that it could be nursemaids elbow, but since he wasn't even moving his hand or anything he thought he might have broken his forearm, so we went for x-rays. They didn't show anything and the doctor said that he could pop his elbow back in place if we wanted or just wait and see what happens. We went for him popping it back in place. He did and felt it pop, so he knew that's what he had was nursemaids elbow. Eli was fine after that and has played great with his right arm. I also had to take him to the doctors last week. He had a sinus infection and an ear infection. He has to take antibiotics for 20 days! Poor thing had a 102 fever for about 3 days. On and off of course. It was so sad. He's ever had a fever like that for so long. Now he's fine and still a little stuffy. Enjoy the pictures.
I bought him a balloon.

He just chilled on our bed all week.


I've learned my lesson :)


Look at his cheeks... They were that red the whole time he had his fever.
