We took the girls to the BK play place to get out a little energy since it was too chilly to take Owen to the park. They were having a great time playing, going up and down the slide. I told Mike about 10 more mins and we were outta there. Then it happened...a loud boom and then really loud screaming. I think she screamed louder this time than when she fell down the stairs, although I suppose it could have been echoing off all the plastic!!! The worst part was that she was all up in those little tubes and we couldn't get to her or see what was wrong! When we finally saw her, we knew it was bad...to the ER - again!
Savannah it seems fell off a step and landed on her face, biting through her lip and cutting her gum open. Man did that girl bleed! The doctor said she needed stitches and that three of her teeth had been knocked loose. My girl is a freak about her face being touched by doctors and hates needles so I tried to get them to numb her or sedate her or something but they couldn't. So wide awake and WITHOUT any pain meds, they stitched her up. They actually had her wrapped in a papoose so she couldn't move. Oh, it was terrible. She kept screaming and then she'd stop and ask, "Mommy, can I get out now?" Mike had to hold her down and I attempted to keep her calm. In total, she got 4 stitches in her lip and we've got to go see a dentist about her teeth. I am really nervous they might have to come out.
I have to say I am really not surprised at what happened, she's always been rough and tumble, but I just can't believe that all the times she's fallen - at the park, down the stairs, off her bed - she has always gotten up and pretty much walked away without issue. This time she really did a number on her poor face. I just hope it doesn't leave a scar!
