If you didn't read my novel of a post about my grandma's party, Ally fell in the middle of the tribute to my grandma and hurt her shoulder so we left early to head to Instacare. The party was in Lehi so we went to the North Orem clinic. My family kept Andrew with them at the party and Vanessa came with us. When we got to Instacare Ally was still crying quite a bit and just wanted me to hold her. Luckily there weren't many people there so we got in to see a doctor quite fast. The doctor wanted an x-ray to rule out a broken collar bone so we went to get an x-ray. Ally was brave and strong and did everything the technician asked her to do. We went back to the waiting room to wait for the x-rays to be developed. When we were called back to the room Ally wanted me to carry her again. When I went to pick her up she screamed out in pain again. I felt so bad because I had caused her pain. We got back in the room and I just started crying. I really try to be strong for my kids while we are in the middle of the crises' we have faced and fall apart when it's all over and done with but this time I just couldn't do it, especially since I had caused her so much pain. The doctor showed us the x-rays and said there was no sign of a break. She said it was most likely muscular and possibly a jammed joint. They gave us a sling and told Ally to wear it for a few days and then start using her arm again. We picked up Andrew and headed home. She slept pretty well all things considered but is still in quite a bit of pain. I hope it heals quickly. It's so hard to see my usually happy, always wanting to play and have fun girl in pain and just wanting to lay around. She is miserable which makes her mom very sad.
