Today Jacob broke his first bone - his left collar bone. I got a call from Jacob's teacher at about 11:30 on Thursday. Shana said that Jacob was on top of the slide on the climbing structure and a classmate came up behind him and accidentally pushed him and Jacob fell off and landed on his back. Shana went on to say that he seemed to be fine - was really upset and crying a lot, but had calmed down, and walked by himself to the teachers. I said ok and to call if they needed anything else. About 5 minutes later, I got a call back saying that they reconsidered and that I should take him to the Dr because he was wincing in pain whenever he moved his left shoulder. I left work and went to pick the little guy up. He was laying down in the classroom when I got there; the director was reading him a story. He was not crying, but began crying when he saw me. I loaded him up in the car and we went to the hospital.
We waited for a little bit and then got called in for an x-ray. Jacob cried a little, but he was really good. The Dr. came in after looking at the films to say that he had a broken collar bone. :( (I will mention that when the Dr. came in, the door squeaked. When the Dr. said "it's broken" I initially thought she was talking about the door.)
We then had to wait a while longer for discharge papers, a sling, and pain medicine. So, we made funny faces (below is Jacob's pretend "sad" face), watched Barney, and ate his lunch. Once we got his sling we headed home.
Get better little guy! Lots of down time in our future - tv, arts and crafts and books!
