Our First Break

Last night Spunky and Giggles were messing around, playing in the living room. Spunky heaved Giggles up and accidently dropped her. I was feeding the baby and saw it -- it didn't look good. It looked like she fell on her neck and head. She started crying immediately and saying her shoulder hurt. We put ice on it and gave her some pain medication, but after seeing that both sides of her body didn't match we felt she needed to go into the emergency room. Sure enough, she broke her collar bone. I knew it! They gave her a sling and said her arm needs to stay in it for 4 weeks. (Right. It's going to be a struggle to keep her in it for 4 days!) Her emotions, in order: upset (in pain) scared (about the hospital) curious (after 2 pain relievers) silly (watching Scooby Doo while waiting for results) giggly (today, enjoying extra attention from everyone) Spunky's emotions: guilt guilt guilt Poor girl, I think she's suffering more than her little sister! She already offered to help her pick up eggs at the church Easter egg hunt in 2 weeks. Since neither Ethan or I ever broke a bone, this is new for us. Honestly, I am SO grateful it was just a collar bone. It could have been a lot worse!
