Micro-tears that might hurt for a day or two and will repair and become bigger and stronger: good. And, yes, you need to rest it for at least 48 hours to allow it to heal and become stronger.
Serious muscle tears that require surgery: bad.
If you have really torn your deltoid muscle, you need to have that looked at by a doctor immediately. If you are experiencing delayed onset muscle syndrome, it will be fine.
How do you know you tore your muscle?
Bread isn't the best source of Protein,
Try to get your mother to purchase some lean meat items, such as: Beef, Turkey, Fish (tuna, Salmon, etc, etc), Chicken, Venison, Buffalo, etc.
Other examples of protein, in the lower gram category (than the above) would include: Cottage Cheese, Eggs, Low-fat (SF) yogurt, variety of beans, some cheeses, Milk, NPB (where the main component is fat intake), etc, etc.

having meat at dinner isn't enough. Quite literally, you should be eating a small steaks worth of protein every 3 hours to get the kind of protein intake we are talking about.
just to give you an idea of how I usually eat on a normal day (as far as protein intake per meal):
breakfast at 7am: 6 egg whites, plus two omega eggs
2nd breakfast 10am: protein shake, about 1.5 servings ~ 35g protein
lunch: usually some meat like pulled beef, pork or chicken (I like to smoke meat on the weekends)
late afternoon snack: either some more meat, or another protein shake IF I'm not weight training that day.
Dinner: more meat/chicken
late snack or post workout meal: cottage cheese, roasted nuts, or a shake if I lifted that night.
This all adds up to around 200g of protein, or 800 calories from protein during the day, give or take.
