Katiebug broke her collarbone!! OUCH




Our sweet little Katiebug fell down the stairs and broke her collarbone. The first two days she didn't move off the couch. She wouldn't walk and she didn't want anyone to touch her. I had to feed her and help her hold her sippy cup and she didn't sleep very well. It was pretty heartbreaking to see her in so much pain and to not be able to do anything for her. We alternated Tylenol and Motrin for the first two days, but it left her so lethargic and I don't think that it helped that much for the pain so I quit giving it to her. She finally smiled and seemed more like herself on day 3 and now she makes me crazy because she is running around, everywhere and going up and down the stairs by herself, and climbing on everything with one arm in a sling. I keep envisioning her falling and breaking the other arm or smacking her face a good one, but I am happy to see that she is recovering. The only time that it seems to hurt her now is when she needs to lay down to have her diaper changed or when I change her into a different shirt. She tries to run away from me when she sees that I have clothes in my hands, because she now hates to be changed. She has to wear the sling for at least 3 weeks, but even better if she will wear it for 6. I will take her back to the Dr at the 3 week mark.

Poor girl! I remember when Danielle broke hers. She would scream when anyone would try to bath her or change her! No fun!

I broke my collar bone when I was about her age and again in first grade. It' pretty painful. She is so stinking cute. Thanks for all your support with ryan. It really helps to hear from family when times are rough.
