A close call


Last night we thought we were ready for our first ER visit for stitches. We were getting ready to go out and the girls were getting their shoes and jackets on while I put Sammy out. Once again they were running around even though I probably yell at them for this at least 10 times a day. Brynn tripped and went face first into the side of the sofa. When she got up, her mouth was covered in blood. I ran her to the kitchen trying to figure out what exactly was bleeding. It turns out she bit her bottom lip almost all the way through. I was able to get the bleeding under control and applied ice right away. She sat on my lap for about an hour with it on so I knew it must've helped because she'll usually put ice on something for about a minute before she's done. I wasn't sure if she was more upset by the fact that she fell or that she was in actual pain because she kept crying about it. I was trying to cheer her up and told her that next week Kendall and Ethan were coming over and with the saddest face she asked " Will I be happy then??" She finally cheered up but still gets upset that her boo-boo didn't go away yet. I have a feeling this one may take awhile.
