Sledding and Injury

On New Years Day me and Ryan had to go up to Park City and the 3 girls at that point needed to get out of the house and go do something! Eric being the nice guy he is said he would take the girls Sledding... that's a lot of work—he was very Brave!

I love the Pictures he took

The girls look like they are having SO much fun!... until

Ava and London got Ran Over by some Serious Tubers—they had Helmets! If you go sledding with Helmets your planning on being Crazy and Crashing. But why do they have to Crash into our Kids! London was lucky enough to not get hurt, but Ava on the other hand...

Broke her Collar Bone.
The first few days were Bad. She couldn't move, She cried all the time, she didn't want to eat anything, and she was in a lot of Pain. At first the Doctor said to just give her Motrin... that didn't work so we upgraded to a prescription. I wish you could cast a Collar Bone injury, then when she moves it or bumps it, it wouldn't be so bad. She also wanted a Pink Cast so we could sign it like we did with her Uncle Spencer who broke his arm.

The day after the accident she was laying in her bed crying and she said to me...
"I used to have so much fun with that Arm"
She really thought that her arm was always going to be like that... So cute!

The Body is so Amazing. We thought that they would have to realign her Collar Bone because as you can see they are on top of each other, but they don't. The body completely heals it self by forming a ball of tissue around the two broken ends and over time the body shaves it down until it's a straight bone again…So cool!

The brace doesn't do a lot for the shoulder but it does help her keep it back so it doesn't hurt as much. Psychologically though it means a lot to her and she hasn't taken it off.

The Doctors told her that she should be back to her normal self in about 4 weeks, its been almost 2 weeks now and she is doing amazing!
