Soooo it was a relatively quick visit. The x-rays don't show it, but the doctor is "fairly comfortable that its broken" Gotta love that phrasing. *sniff* missed Dr. W...this doctor just always gets on my grumpy side.
He was good however. And explained that very frequently toddler breaks don't show until later. She has a mild bruise where she's been grabbing and it is swollen. Putting that with the no bearing weight he said....it definitely was broken.
He offered a cast, but said it wouldn't protect anything and it would definitely slow her down even more. So instead we're wrapping it well and preventing her from climbing for the next month.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Okies got that outa my system. She refigured out how to scoot finally so at least she is getting around. And is quite nimble that way, and already climbing...she has 2 good arms and one good foot after all.
I forsee this being a VERY long month.
And yes I'm sick to my stomache. And doing the whole guilt trip thing about "I shoulda watched her more carefully. And suspect I will be crying soon...actually the crying would help......"
Its been a day.

poor kid! Can you give her tylenol for the pain?? Did you ever get a correct story out of the other 4???
oh tonia {{{hug}}} i'm sorry that this has happened. may you feel God's arms of peace around you.
Whoa! Fairies everywhere! *gets out the net*
It's soooo hard to know when a wee one breaks a bone. So hard. You're an awesome mommy.
*wheels off tot the left in pursuit of a flock of fae* KITES galore!
Yeah, well I knew this mummy who decided to feel all guilty because her son hurt himself while she was *translating to American* in the bathroom. How selfish of her... You CAN'T watch 'em all the time and you know it.
Poor Rainee, she's such a wee trooper.
**Hugs**:sunny: You are a great mommy!! Stop it!! If all the other mommys took care of their kids half as well as you do the world would be a wonderful place.
(((((((Tonia))))))) We can't be omnipresent when it comes to our kids. Things like this are going to happen. I'll never forget when I was pregnant with Brandon watching Jeff fall and not able to move quickly enough to get to him. We ended up rushing him to the hospital where he had to have a gazillion stitches!
You're an AWESOME mom! I don't know of anyone else I see as more committed and loving. Praying for quick healing and for your peace.
:heartbeat: She'll heal well, kids are resiliant. When Kira was 28 months, she fell and hurt her arm, no bruises or redness, she complained about it for a week and finally I took her to the doctor, who chided me for bringing a "healthy child" to urgent care.
Her arm was broken
It happens, I had a newborn at the time and thought she was trying to get attention. Of course that didn't stop me from beating myself up about it, but it happens to all moms, you're not alone 
You could have been NEXT to her, and it still could have happened. So don't beat yourself up. {{{HUGS}}} Of course, that's what mommies do, isn't it? She's probably not in as much pain now with it wrapped, though? I hope not. Poor baby.
