Three days before Charlie's 3rd birthday, he fell off a kitchen stool and broke his collarbone. The poor guy has been really tough about it. We went to Urgent Care where he got an X-ray and a brace. We are supposed to make sure he is careful not to fall or get hurt again while it heals, but other than that, there is nothing to do but wait. It should be fully healed in 3-6 weeks. Unfortunately it was on his right side, so he has to do everything with his left hand. He has trouble holding things in his right hand and he can't pick anything up on that side.
Sorry this is sideways, but here is the xray. The break is pretty clear.
Here he is napping after all the commotion.
This is what the brace looked like from the back...and is't s cute picture of Holly adoring her brother.
A week later we saw a specialist who gave us a sling instead of the brace. The brace kept falling off on one side and the sling is working much better.
