What I thought as a simple accident turned out to be a serious one and have learned the lesson to not just take stride your child’s complain and ensure there safety.
Leyna’s accident happened last January 19, 2009 at 5pm when she slipped on the tiled floor and broke her left clavicle (left collar bone).
She and her grandpa were watching television inside the room while I was mopping the floor inside the house. I was confident that she would follow what I instructed her but when I reached the kitchen, I heard her crying and her grandpa was bringing her to our room to rest and was told that she slipt on the floor. I thought it was just a simple slipped so I continued what I was doing and had also instructed her to just lie down in bed. While still in the kitchen, she was still cyring and calling out my name, so I went to her and see what was wrong. When I saw her crying in bed and was pointing that her shoulder is hurt, I panicked and went to her immediately and comforted her. I called her dad on the phone and asked to come home ASAP. It was a blessing in disguise that my brothers’ friend and his wife came to the house (“to talk to me for some business proposal, hehe”) and has offered to bring Leyna to the hospital.
She was admitted and was x-rayed standing. The initial finding of the doctors were just a simple bruise on her shoulder. My husband and I were really in doubt since she was in pain even when just sitting or lying down. So we brought her to the city (since we are living in the suburb about 30-45 minutes ride to the city) for a second opinion and she was x-rayed again lying down and the doctors discovered that her left clavicle was broken. Thank God no operation was needed but instead a figure 8 bandage was applied on her shoulder.
It has been three weeks since the accident and I am happy that she is slowly adjusting to her situation with a bandage and returning to her old jolly/“makulit” self.
