Kate had another accident. She fell out of our van while I was loading up to go meet Jared. I was on one side buckling Clair in while she fell on the other, so I didn't really see what happened. Her shoes were a little wet and all I can assume is that she slipped. I thought she was fine but after a day of her crying and not using her left arm, we decided to take her in. She broke her collar bone. All we can do is put her in a sling, give her pain reliever and wait for it to heal. It was very traumatic to hold her down during her x-ray. It took three of us to hold her down. I don't think I'll recover from her scared eyes looking at me while I tortured her. She was excited to get her dinosaur sling and has been very good about wearing it.
Now if that wasn't enough it gets worse. Sunday night she started getting fevers. For two days she just sat in my arms crying and grunting. She gave me a good scare on Tuesday when her speech started to slur, she started drooling really bad and she was pretty unresponsive. I started to wonder if there was some brain damage from the fall, but kept telling myself she was just in shock from the pain. Finally Tuesday night I realized what was going on. She had Strep, I had it last week. I wanted to die when I looked in her throat and realized how much pain she was in. And to top it off, both of her ears started draining fluid Wednesday morning. How's that for pain, broken collar bone, strep throat and double ear infection. She is now on meds and doing really well.
