The Cry

I was impressed with the speed I moved with last night (being 6 months pregnant and a little awkward) when I heard Eleanor fall out of bed. I can usually get her calmed down before she wakes Penelope up but this was a different cry. Isn't it awful when you can't make the pain go away? So we had a quick little trip to the ER to confirm my suspicions that Eleanor had broken her clavicle. The problem with a broken clavicle is there really is no fix. Just 6 weeks of healing time in an uncomfortable figure 8 brace or a sling. She is ok as long as she doesn't move too much, but how do you not move too much when you are 23 months old? Poor babe.

Oh, I'm sorry. Having broken my clavicle also I can definitely sympathize. You can tell her I said that, although she'll probably just say, "Matt who?"
