Sunday afternoon she was running down the hallway when she slammed (either slipped or tripped?) shoulder first into the laundry room door. She cried a little and said she needed some ice for her shoulder. We kept an eye in it...no bruising, no swelling, and she could move it. As the evening went on, she started to favor her left arm and would cry and wince in pain if she held in out in front of her or reached across herself. So, we decided it was time to head to the ER.
We told her we were taking her to the Emergency Room so someone could help her with he shoulder. Of course the 20 questions began- "Why are we going to the 'mergency room?" "Who is going to help me there."
They took x-rays of her shoulder and clavicle, and there was the cause of the pain- a broken clavicle. The doctor said that this is a common fracture for kids and it'll heal up on its own. Here she is wearing her fashionable sling...
Keep the little Miss in your prayers...it's gonna be a long 6-8 weeks, but she is tough and she'll get through it!!
