Paige’s Story: A Daughter with Nursemaid’s Elbow

March is Child Life month, and I wanted to feature some amazing organizations that are doing so much to support children and families in crisis. A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to interview an expert in the field of Child Life about the impact of disasters on children and families (episode 105). Child Life Disaster Relief is an organization that empowers and supports children and families in crisis by integrating Child Life professional services into disaster-impacted communities.

Today I’m talking with Paige, who shares her daughter’s experience with Nursemaid’s Elbow. On this podcast, sometimes we talk about really intense diagnoses that last years and have a significant medical impact. Other times we talk about acute issues that are not severe but require medical attention - and today is one of those days. Check out this episode to hear about what Nursemaid’s Elbow is and how to fix it.
