Last night Taylor went to her friend Alyssa's birthday party at Bounce-U. After only 30 minutes of bouncing fun, Taylor got bounced off the big slide and landed on her elbow on the floor. Someone standing near her said they heard a loud crack when she hit the floor and she was grabbing her arm crying. We took her to the emergency room for x-rays and they said she fractured her elbow. She has a splint right now until we can get her in to an orthopedist. The ER doctor said he thinks she shouldn't need to have surgery, just wear a cast for 4-6 weeks. Hopefully he is right. They gave her Tylenol with codeine for pain and said she would be really drowsy and sleep a lot. Well, it had the reverse effect on her. As soon as it kicked in she perked right up and talked nonstop until we made her go to bed. We have all decided that Bounce-U is now off limits!
