Poor Sophie fell and hit her face on the step stool yesterday. It was awful! It was just me and Sophie home, Steve was still at work and Brody was at a friend's house. I didn't realize how much your tongue bleeds, but let me tell you - it is a lot! I had no idea what to do and I was totally freaking out so I ran outside with a crying baby full of blood. I saw my neighbor was just getting home (I've talked to her maybe 5 times) and yelled for her - she saw the blood everywhere and quickly told me to come into her house. She is a nurse so that was fabulous - she was so calm! She was able to clean Sophie up a bit and see the cut on her tongue, she calmed us both down and told me that they probably wouldn't do much for it. I then went to get Brody at his friends house down the street - they probably think I'm crazy because I show up at their door with this bloody baby but luckily his friend's mom is a chiropractor and she was also really calm. We then went home and at this point Holly, Seth, Kelly and Steve were all in the drive way. After looking at it closer Steve took her in to the emergency room. They ended up not doing anything and said it will heal. It looks really gross today! I can't really imagine it healing normally!! She was SO crabby this evening, I felt so bad for her! She barely at anything all day - just some yogurt. I have been giving her pain medicine but by the end of the night she was playing with her tongue constantly. Here are a few pics of her:
