We knew it would come some day. I've joked about it for a couple of years now. Thankfully, it didn't turn out to be a big deal. She fell and her teeth made a huge gash in her bottom lip -I had no clue how bad it was or if it would require stitches…so off to the ER we went.
I had Evyn's camera in my purse from an earlier project today. So you KNOW I totally whipped it out at a stop light, right? If you were a Facebook friend, you'd remember last year's EKG. But I digress…back to the bloody mess at hand.
Poor James. I called him at work – at the time I couldn't even figure out where the gush of blood was coming from. So he panicked a little and met me at the ER.
After the nurses cleaned her up we found a second boo-boo–this one on her chin.
Of course the final verdict was – no stitches. Just go home. And wait for the bill.
But not before stopping for the most expensive popsicle this year.
Yes, people were looking at me weird. Who takes a dozen pictures of her kid at the emergency room? Are you kidding? As long as she's probably fine – AND sitting so pitifully in a wheelchair – ME:
Lucy says
Whew! I’m glad she’s okay. She looks *so* pathetic =(.
Wren says
poor baby! Glad she’s alright!
-an unknown fan!

I totally did the same thing last spring when Lyla fell/jumped off the couched and cut her chin open! Funny how people who love pictures will do that. Yes, I have the ER pics too!
Amber says
oh poor little thing – we had one of those this year with our four year old – a few stitches on her chin – but when they are that small they do seem so pitiful.
Erin Beck says
She is so stinkin adorable even covered with her little blood all over her shirt. Her and Luke really need to get together:) So glad she is alright, love that you take pictures, so worth the memories

This just breaks my heart — oh! how I remember flying to the ER, heart in my throat. The picture of itty bitty sitting on her daddy’s lap just made me choke right up. That’ll be throbbing for a while – give her hugs from Gramma ((hugs))
