So glad it wasn't worse! Kids do heal pretty quickly, so I bet she'll be back to all good in almost the blink of an eye. Scary, though...hope she doesn't suffer with too much pain. My DH broke his collarbone (also on the bike), and it was a long road back, but he was in his 40s at the time.
Best wishes!

how scary! A fractured collar bone is very painful, but they do heal (though mine is no longer straight). So glad it wasn't worse.

Any time your babies are hurt, it's so awful. Such a helpless feeling as a parent. Glad she was not hurt worse.
Yes, thank God for helmets! My shoulder is permanently seperated from my crash (&helmet saved me from being scrambled egg brains). Common bike injury by nature unfortunately. It takes time, but youth usually helps any injury situation as a plus.
Hope she heals well. (((hugs)))

I'm so glad it was only the clavicle. What a scary accident!
Sending quick healing thoughts your way!

Healing juju headed your way. Hope she isn't too sore the next few days.

That sounds scary! Your daughter sounds like a real trooper though. I hope she heals quickly and well. Give her a gentle hug from all of us at TE.
