Yuzu broke her arm !
Late afternoon yesterday, Yuzu had powerful rolling over with twisted upper-body and that time, her right arm was under her body and made some sort of "breake" noise and she fell asleep after crying a little while. I thought she was OK until she awoke tearfully and didn't stop crying even I held her. And she screamed when I touched her that arm, become weak. After calling my parents' home and husband, I tried to find a hospital where it's available. It was not easy to find one because the time it was just between "day" and "night". One of the nearest one, TOHO SAKUA HOSPITAL's nurse told me that it's better call Fire Headquarters directly. Finally, I found a duty doctor of emergency orthopedic surgery at NARITA SEKIJYUJI HOSPITAL. Nurse there checked Yuzu's arm and she said it's OK. But she seemed still in pain so we decided to take an X-ray knowing that it's risky for little ones. The doctor said it's could be "pulled elbow" but she didn't get better after the procedure. As a result, she broke her bone but doctor said it's impossible...(she had to show her upperbody to the doctor that time because he suspected us of baby abuse!!!) However, bones of babys are similar to young tree and it's heal by itself in a week, amazing!In reality, my super baby Yuzu healed her arm next morning...She can hold her toy in her right hand, she tries to roll over to her right side...What a surprise, baby power!
