What a scare we had! Were on our way out when Celeste was playing a fool and daddy had to grab and pull her hand to stop her from falling on the ground. Who knows seconds later, Celeste kept crying. She was really wailing, just crying non-stop and later kept clutching her hand and say pain pain. At first we thought it was just a normal pain, but mummy noticed that Celeste didn't move her hand at all and when we moved her hand, she cried badly. It took us like 15 mins to finally decide that it was indeed serious and send her to Mt alvernia A&E dept.
We had to wait for some time before the doctor saw us. Meanwhile, had to try to entertain Celeste. She refused to hold up her hand and kept using her towel to cover the injured part (elbow). Only when we touched her arm did she cry.
After waiting for like eternity, we finally got to see the doctor. Doctor asked a few questions and immediately knew what happened. The doctor looked a bit "GL" and said, "Papa pull your hand right? nevermind, I will pull it back for you." So he proceeded to pull Celeste's arm and twist it back to position. Heard a crack and apparently, it was set into place. Celeste cried like a bull and didn't stop crying. We were told to go for a walk and return in 15mins time. Celeste was to walk around and try to "shake" her arm to loosen it or something.
Well, easy to say, difficult to do coz Celeste refused to walk by herself. Just wanted us to carry her. No matter what we did, she didn't want everything. Food, NO. Drinks, NO. Walk, NO. And so, 15minutes felt like an hour coz I had to carry her. She was very cranky by then.
Long story cut short, after that 15 minutes, Celeste still refused to lift up her arm. Doctor asked us to wait somemore. OMG. More crying from Celeste. After waiting for i dunno how long, Doctor met us again. This time, he gave celeste a stick and Celeste took it with her right hand. Then gave her another one. As her right hand was full, she was forced to use her left hand. At first she didn't want to try to use her left hand but doctor kept encouraging her so she finally lifted up her left arm to take the stick. Ok, so doc says since she can lift up her arm, she should be fine.
Well, true indeed. Although she cried a lot in the car as we were going back, she was totally fine after she saw Grandma and Grandpa. Could run about, etc.
Eveyrthing was fine. We hope we don't have such an ordeal again! :p
