Radial Head Subluxation

Sounds like a rock band, but it's actually the medical term for a partially dislocated elbow, also known as nursemaid elbow. It happened to Sophia on Monday night - none of us are certain how it happened, but Soph was in some pain, for sure and unable to use her right arm. Amazingly, the pediatrician popped the elbow back into joint with one quick move and Sophia was pain free almost instantly. Two bags of french fries later and all is well.
