Ashlyn's broken collar bone

On Tuesday night 7th of Oct, Ashlyn broke her collar bone. Mum and I went to the ED with her and didn't get home till 1am. Tony and I were expecting at least 4 weeks of wearing a sling as they said 6 to 8 weeks!
Turns out she didn't even use it for 2!

This is a picture taken the day after it happened...
As you can see, she is not a happy camper :(



The second day after it happened she wouldn't let me take her pj's top off. She was playing nicely, although very aware of her arm.
The third day after it happened she would let me change her only after I told her we were going with Grandma to buy some birds.

The fourth day she was cleaning my house!! LOL
Still aware of her arm but not so sore any more.
Day 6 and she was already using it!!! She was still being careful but would forget every now and then and hurt it.


15th of Oct, only 8 days on and she wasn't using the sling much anymore!


I went back to the dr with her 2 weeks to the day after it happened. He said she obviously didn't need the sling anymore!! It was still a bit tender but she was using it like it had never been hurt. That went alot quicker than we expected!
