On Wednesday, Emma was sitting on a ball at the top of our porch stairs. She wobbled off the ball and went head first down the stairs. Josh was outside with her and I heard the crash from inside. I think she bounced off all the steps. I knew something was wrong just by the way she was crying. She wouldn't move her arm and became a little sluggish. I called the pediatrician and they told me to go to the orthapedic urgent care.
We sat in the waiting room for about 1 1/2 hours and she didn't move off of her chair. I knew she was really hurt when she sat still for that long. After X-rays and a doctor checkup, he told us that she had broken her clavicle. She will have to be in a sling for 3 weeks and we will go back for more X-rays. This is going to be a challenge for this active little girl. It has been 2 days and she has already snuck by me and her teachers and gone down slides 3 times!! It will be a miracle if she heals correctly.
Heading to the urgent care
She was a bit shocky. She never sleeps in the car. I knew she was in a lot of pain.
Waiting for the doctor.
Broken clavicle
Just look at that sad, sweet face
This tough thing begged to go to art camp the following morning.
Gramma and Grandpa sent an edible arrangement with balloons
It's not so bad being injured!!
This broken bone hasn't slowed her down.
