So last Thursday evening (September 16), Decovin, Camden and daddy were wrestling on the floor like they always do. Then they started jumping from the couch onto daddy, which they often do also (unfortunately)...well, at one point Camden jumped off the couch and Bob leaned over to catch him and at the same time Decovin jumped off the couch but missed Bob all together and landed on his shoulder onto the floor.
Poor Decovin yelped and cried for quite a bit but we tried to just "ignore" it so he would calm down and not focus on it...usually this works as it generally isn't an actual injury...and he will get right back into playing, etc...
When he didn't jump right back into playing with daddy I knew something might be wrong but I didn't want to over react (like I tend to do), so we let him use an ice pack and I gave him some motrin and put him to bed that night...
The next morning he woke up and was still saying his shoulder hurt and he hit it on something at one point and just LOST it...so that was the deciding factor for me to call the doctor...got him in and they did several x-rays and he was SUCH A BIG BOY during this as I couldn't go in with him b/c I had Camden with me also...but he didn't cry one bit! He did AWESOME! But alas, it was a broken collar bone...so the doctor slinged him up and sent us home.
He has to wear the sling for 2 weeks and they said that there will probably be a bump on his shoulder for quite awhile...poor dude...but he has done AWESOME. He minimally complains about wearing the sling and he is still happy and bubbly and can still use his arm for the most part. He's taking it with good strides! :-) I love that little guy!
