On the morning of Taylor's kid birthday party, Maddie woke up crying saying that she had fallen out of bed. Dave and I weren't too concerned about it but when we tried to take her jammies off her to put sunscreen on she couldn't lift her arm up without crying. Dave ended up taking her to the walk in clinic that day to have it checked on. 3 hours later they were back, enjoying the kid party. The doctor had said she had just bruised it pretty badly and that in 4 or 5 days it would be just fine. We carried on with life and Maddie seemed to be doing great! Well, 2 days ago, the girls were in the tub and I was washing them down and I noticed this rather large "lump" on her collar bone. I called Dave in and we both got a bit worried about it. It felt like her bone was literally growing up into a ball. Needless to say, she headed back to the doctor yesterday where without even taking an X-Ray they told us that she has a broken collar bone. Thankfully, the break is healing how it should be and we actually don't have to do anything for it. We got extremely lucky because if it hadn't been a clean break the bones might not have met up nicely like they are doing right now. Phew... Maddie is doing GREAT! She has been arguing with Taylor that her "neck" is not broken and that it is all better!
