We left the baby home sleeping with a neighbor and took her there together, because I couldn't bear to be at home waiting to hear from my hubs. It's never fun.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994028334285666962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149345128982934434.post-22384162064293918072008-07-24T01:06:00.000-04:002008-07-24T01:06:00.000-04:00My little 10 year sous chef, the girl who has knoc...My little 10 year sous chef, the girl who has knocked out and chipped her two front teeth, and she says 'owwwww!' and 'it's so sad' and 'it brings back bad memories.' and 'she's lucky she didn't chip her teeth.' <BR/><BR/>my daughter hopes your little bird is all right.krystahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531928118463332366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149345128982934434.post-16059125347038214732008-07-22T17:04:00.000-04:002008-07-22T17:04:00.000-04:00Oh, that looks painful!

Luckily, it was a pediatric ER, so it was okay. We had to leave through the regular ER though, and the smell almost made me puke.<BR/><BR/>@FreeMan: We lucking did not have to wait long enough to do any people watching. But I hear you on the affirmations.<BR/><BR/>@Jay: I had actually JUST made ice for the first time in this house. The sad thing is that it still did not stop the bleeding. That's why we went ahead and took her in.<BR/><BR/>@RiverPoet: I am sure we will have some kind of incident like the one you had. I am dreading it something fierce. Hopefully, this was the worst for a while.<BR/><BR/>@Jayna: I know. I can't take her outside, now I don't know what to do with her inside. Tie her to the couch and make her watch TV all day?

They are great places when you need them, but I've needed them for my kids and I far too many times. <BR/><BR/>First time? I took a dive off a chair in my living room, trying to emulate the Olympic divers. I have a lovely scar under my chin to show where I bled and bled and bled. I remember none of it, but my brothers can recite the details to this day. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully LittleBird won't have any scars to show. She's a tough little girl, that one!<BR/><BR/>Peace - DRiverPoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846730934649303857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149345128982934434.post-62885560041254692512008-07-22T05:49:00.000-04:002008-07-22T05:49:00.000-04:00Aw, poor Little Bird!

You just don't know what you're going to see when they open up... <BR/><BR/>Next time, remember - Ice Is Your Friend! Nothing stops bleeding and reduces swelling in mouth injuries like ice, and it has the advantage that you can give them a cube to suck for internal mouth injuries - and it won't interfere with anything the medics may want to do later.<BR/><BR/>Can you tell I've raised two boys? <BR/><BR/>I hope she feels better soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149345128982934434.post-22841454855797246402008-07-22T00:35:00.000-04:002008-07-22T00:35:00.000-04:00Ouch!

Poor Little Bird.<BR/><BR/>The ER is a horrible place no matter who's there - it's the WORST place when your kid is the one who has to be there. Way to go on remembering the camera! I'm such a damn voyeur.<BR/><BR/>When you're ready to cry, let loose. When Buddha had his surgery, and we had to wait for the stupid hospital pharmacy to send up the damn pain meds, I held in the tears. When he passed out after taking the meds, I silently cried for over an hour while holding him in my arms in his bed.
