Broken Clavicle


Posted by: mommy in Untagged  on Oct 6, 2008



Well about 6 days ago Oct 1, Dusty fell off his little car (about 2 feet high). It is fairly short so I didn't expect him to get hurt that bad! He had a swollen left shoulder I noticed Oct 2nd and he kept pointing at his shoulders. I knew there was something wrong but I kinda want to wait about a day more to see if the swelling goes down. Unfortunately, it didn't and on the 4th, we went to Elizabeth's party. I noticed that he didn't want me to touch his arm and he is protecting and holding it up to his chest every time he tries to move. He was also ultra cranky. We took him to the urgent care and sure enough, a broken clavicle! Apparently, you can't do much but wait about 3-4 weeks for it to heal on its own!
