Monday evening the kids were playing a game in the living room. One that has been advised as a No-No, but played anyways. It is a game that the one kids is swinging another and then lets go, so one let go of Ali and she landed on the corner of her toy box with her neck. Not seeing anything popping out and with mobility, I put her to bed with drugs and ice packs. I spent the night in her bed with her and observed her and we rotated the ice packs and drugs every 2-3 hours. Tuesday am she still had some mobility, but was really babying the left arm and refused me picking her up. It would bring her to tears, which for my baby girl that loves being picked up is a big thing! I sent her to school to see how much of the mom card was being played, but still made a dr. appt. When I picked her up from school, her arm was worse than when I dropped her off so we sped off to her dr. appt. He had us get an xray because it could be anything from a really good bruise to a fractured collar bone. We then went to the xray office. She walked back with the lady all by herself while I waited with McKenna in the waiting room. She came back and I was told she did very well and was very brave.
After that we went out to visit daddy and show mr. Rick our new van. Just as I had gotten to the bookstore, I received a call that she fractured her bone and we needed to get a brace for her. Unfortunately our insurance wouldn't cover the brace if we bought it from our pedi, but they suggested going to CVS or Walgreens.
So I picked up the kids from school, then we headed to CVS and Walgreens, both a failure. So I just went back to the pedi and paid for the brace from them. She did an awesome job and was very brave while they put the brace on her. I am so proud of my big girl!
Now the trick will be getting her to wear the brace for the next 2 weeks :)
