Miranda had to go to the ER
A couple of weeks ago Miranda was running in the house. She tripped on her own feet and landed on her face. Her 2 top teeth bit very deep down into her lower lip. She was screaming and it was a scary scene. It took 40 minutes to get the bleeding to stop. I put a cold compress on it and she sucked on an ice cube. I took her to the dr. and they tried to put stitches in her lip. They tried putting a needle in her lip where the deep cut was. It was a horrific scene and unbearable to watch her endure.
So I took her to ER and we spent about 5 hours there. They gave her a shot to sedate her before putting stitches in her lip. They also set her up with an IV as protocol. She never really got sedated, just sort of loopy. She was awake and screaming when the doctor put the stitch in her lip. The doctor said I might want to leave the room. It was excruciating for me to watch so I left the room on his advise. I think the ER was just as traumatic as taking her to the doctor’s office. We got home at about 10pm that night.
The next morning she managed to pull the stitch out. It is healing very well and hopefully she won’t have much of a scar. It is a physical reminder for her and all of the girls not to run in the house.
