Don't you hate when you wake up and you think it is going to be just another ordinary, busy day and it becomes quite the opposiet? This morning Lila finished her breakfast at the stools that sit up to the counter. Brian was not a fan of her sitting there...I told him she had sat there plenty, not to worry. Then we went to gymnastics and ame home for lunch. The girls ate at the table...Lila wanted to finish at the counter while I cleaned up. A big thud and a huge scream, I knew I had to eat my words. Lots of blood and a huge gash in her bottlom lip...we were headed to the ER. Thank the lord for wonderful people in my life. My friend, Michele met me at Heritage to wait with the van so I could take Clara in a bit early. Again thankful the Enrichment teachers were glad to have her in there since class did not start for 40 minutes. Then Brian met me at Littleton Hospital to take a sleeping Nora home in the van, while I took Lila into the ER. After some debating, it was decided that a couple of stitches would be best for both cosmetic and practical reasons (left unstitched, the wound would be subjected to opening again and if you been around Lila, you know she is tough and does her best to keep up, hence falling a lot!!) Then the worst part. The doc brought in two men to help me hold her down. If you have never had to do this you are lucky. It is horrible to have you small precious child trashing about full of fear and confusion as a doctor comes at them with first a numbing shot and then a needle to sew it up. I felt so bad and she just kept crying and screaming "mama" I hope to forget that part soon! The procedure was quick and we were on our way. One stop at the store for some antibiotics and a box of Popsicles and she was back in business!
