First broken bone for Irelynn...



Sunday we went up to Dallas's parents for dinner. Dallas and Irelynn were sitting at the counter on bar stools having some pre dinner snacks. Dallas turned his head for just a minute...and Irelynn fell off the stool. Irelynn is a tough chick and normally only cries for just a minute. After 20 minutes of crying I knew that something wasn't right. After taking off her shirt she kept pointing at her right shoulder.... So Dallas and I took her to Alta Views ER. The Doctor did an exam and then an X-ray ....we found out that she has a broken collarbone:( There isn't much you can do for and 18 month old with a broken collarbone. Just see if she will keep a sling on and make sure she plays mellow and doesn't move it much. Poor thing seems to be in pain but still manages to keep smiling and be super sweet. I just hate seeing her in pain and know that there is really nothing I can do about it. Lets just hope that it heals faster then the 4-6 weeks the doctor said it might take.

So sad and even sadder that in her other hand she has a cookie...can you give her some stronger pain medication? I hope it heals fast too..
