Fractured three ribs but went home and after experiencing “discomfort” she went to the hospital for observation?

As long as the ribs are not displaced, that's how it usually is. You feel a pop, a jolt of pain and you are OK for a while. As hours go by and the inflammation builds, you soon realize you are NOT OK. The next 4 weeks to 4 months suck, as you can't even get a decent breath without pain. Coughs and sneezes are intense pain. Sleep is difficult as is almost any normal task. Gotta be really hard for someone her age.

EVERYTHING is hard for someone her age-——I’m a few months older than she is.:-)
