Mikayla's broken collarbone...

Oh no no no!  I'm going for parent of the year.  I was making dinner and gave Mikayla a snack.  Mikayla, who often stands in her high chair when she's finished eating, finally fell out of it.  She fell and landed on her side.  I got her silky blankie and sat with her on the couch and held her for a while but she was crying a lot and wouldn't calm down.  As I sat there for a half hour, I started looking up symptoms of a broken bone.  I pinched my way up her arm and as I neared her shoulder, she pulled away from me and whimpered.  

By then, Merril was home so we left Max in charge of the other kids and headed to the Instacare.  Luckily is was totally empty so we only waited for a few minutes. 

They took x-rays and sure enough, she had a broken collarbone.

It can't be put in a cast or even a brace.  They advised us to be careful with her and try to keep her from hurting herself and it should just heal on it's own.  After 2 weeks, she probably won't even feel any pain.  Oh, poor baby.  Now I need to stay pregnant for a little bit longer.
