We jinxed ourselves

Meet Caroline. Caroline is fun. Caroline is sassy. Caroline is accident prone. A week ago she ran into the door; with her face. She got a nice little goose egg on her forehead. Two days later she tripped over her own feet and got a fat lip. That resulted in Evan and I's conversation where we were trying to guess how old she would be when she broke her first bone. 

Two days later. Just two days later Caroline fell out of bed in the middle of the night. I picked her back up told her she was fine and to stop crying or she was going to wake up her brother and sister. The next morning she woke up to Evan trying to get her dressed and out the door for the babysitters. She kept crying and mentioning that her neck hurt. I thought she was being dramatic. I thought she was having an almost 3 year old morning. At the end of the day the babysitters informed me they thought she was actually hurt or maybe had a stiff neck. I now remembered about her falling out of bed.

The next day I took her to the pediatrician who ordered an xray and upon viewing it with the tech it was extremely apparent that she broke her clavicle. (aka collarbone) After another appointment with the orthopedic surgeon who also confirmed that the clavicle is broken we have been told that Caroline cannot fall again or it could be "really bad." She could have had a sling for her left arm but we were told since she is so young she most likely would not wear it and would constantly take it off. The doctor stated that it will heal the same regardless of her wearing a sling or not. So no jumping, no climbing, no running and no falling for 4 weeks. 

Meet Caroline. Caroline is accident prone. Meet her mom and dad who feel really guilty. This is going to be a long 4 weeks.
