What's next?

Bethany broke her collar bone at her 7th birthday party on Friday.

She was having a really good time, playing with some boys from down the street. The boys were chasing the dogs around the yard, and in the party area under the trees. Tsavo, my border collie, barrelled into Bethany. She was screaming, and crying. Her left knee, left cheek, and left ear all had road rash on them. She wanted to just come inside and lay down. She opened all of her presents, and blew out the candles on the cake all from the couch in the livingroom. I was concerned with the way she was just hanging her arm and wanted to take her to the ER. Mark, my Mother-in-Law, her boyfriend, and the mom of the boys that came to the party all reassured me that she was fine, and it was probably sprained, or just bruised. I felt like they thought I was just over reacting because of all that has gone on with Heather.
Honestly, Bethany has become quite the drama queen here lately, so I had a hard time telling how bad it was as well. I just wanted to find out for sure.
The next morning, Saturday, I took her to the ER. She had an xray.. sure enough, it is completely broken, and overlapping. She has a figure 8 brace holding her arms back a little, and she's taking a tylenol codiene combo. I'll have to take her to an orthopedic Dr. after getting a referral from her Pediatrician on Monday.

Here are some pics from the party... pre chaos.
