My daughter is going to drive me to drink (more)

What was that classic Christmas movie where the kid was stuck to the flag pole.

A Christmas Story?

Oh No!!!!!!
Poor little thing! Kids will be kids!
I remember when my brother was about four or five, he fell of the arm of the loungeroom chair, and bit right through his tounge!!!!!
The doctors stitched it up, without numbing it, or giving him anything for the pain, nothing!!!!

When my oldest daughter was just learning to walk, she was taking those awkward baby steps around a coffee table and BAM! she fell and hit her chin and bit right through her tongue, but it was just barely hanging there, maybe half the tongue, anyway, rushed her to the emergency room and right into surgery, they put her in one of those papoose slings so her arms were snug, I actually had to hold her head while the doc sewed her up.

It slowed her down a bit, but she got back on the bike.

It's a funny story now, scary as hell when it happens though.

You're welcome.

Tongue Status Update:   Good, threat level pinkish.   No salt, citrus or hot.   Peanut butter, bread, yogurt and applesauce for dinner.

She's doing fine. Talking up a storm, etc. There are two distinct spots where she lost skin. It looked like it was painful.

Don't worry for those of you who laughed. I found this a bit humorous myself once all was well and figured that others would get a kick out of it. Such is the joy of having kids running around.

Ow.   


How did they treat it at urgent care?  Can you bandage a tongue?

Not sure. I'll find out tonight. My wife was just a bit freaked by the blood. I really don't think they can do a lot.

Shame, but this is America, at least you can sue the daycare.

 

   *Anybody know a lawyer? I think I remember some dude. Personal injury? No...patent law....that's it. But sometimes he sleeps with his dog at the office. Odd.....


just kidding...wouldn't dream of doing this

Sorry to hear about your daughter.  Did that once as a kid myself, to include the old peeing on a electric fence -- wouldn't advise that one either.  (Never said I was the brightest)
