We had Morgan's two year appointment today! It went well! She was 100% cooperative for the doctor to do all his checks. Heart, joints, belly, ears, eyes, mouth, etc all got a clean bill of health. We also found out that the arm injury she sustained on Friday night is kindly called "The nursemaid's elbow" in the medical world. He explained that from about 18 months to 3 years the bones in the elbow area are very flexible and easily move. The tendon popped in between the two bones causing pain in the wrist area! He said I was given good info and did the correct thing. He also said if we would have waited too long the tendon would have swelled and Morgan would have had to wear a sling until the swelling went down and the tendon moved back into it's correct alignment. Whew! Thank goodness we got it all taken care of AND I now know what to do next time if it happens again!!
