Well it happened, our FIRST broken bone in the house (minus Blake, we all know he's broken plenty of bones as a child)! I honestly thought Weston would be the first child to break something but it was our little Monkey Ashlyn...(she was literally hanging upside down by her knees in the backyard from her "bar" aka rope that is between 2 trees)
In the x-ray above the break is pretty obvious, but it's the straight bone closest to her ribs at the top! She has had another x-ray done since this one and it's already started healing a bit, however she still has to take it easy for 4 more weeks (SOOO hard for kids to do)
This was at the hospital, she only smiled because her daddy asked her to!
She wore the figure 8 for a week and at night she wore both, but the doctors have said to just use the sling from now on and she will heal great! She's having a hard time laying low and doing things inside, especially since the weather is just starting to cool down a bit. Lets hope we don't have to worry about another broken bone for a VERY long time
