Only my child!!!! - Parent-2-Parent & Reflux in Children

mommytothree · May 2nd, 2006, 09:25 PM

I was Happily typing away on here this afternoon and heard Isabella screaming,next came Josie screaming there was Blood everywhere,Well, knowing the drama queen Josie is I thought Hmmmm,Probably not bad.WRONG....I walked around the corner and there was a trail of blood all the way from the living room to the bathroom in the hallway.

Isabella had evidently tripped over something,what I am still not sure of and fell onto the top of a rubbermaid tote that I had out to pack up some toys they don't play with anymore.It cut the Little piece under her top lip that attaches to the top gum in half.And I mean literally in half!!!!! Her top lip and gum Looked like hamburger meat!!! Now I know the mouth bleeds BAd but she was Gushing.So I called the Dentist he said to bring her in but unless it was really really bad he would no do anything about it.Guess who got 2 stitches in their mouth???? Yep she sure did!!!! I think he was SHOCKED at how ripped up it was.So needless to say we have had a rather exciting night!!!!

And I need a break now!!!! I think I am going to bed!!!!!

Oh and one more thing.....she is a thumb sucker (yes I have tried to break it) and she is one miserable child right now!!! He did put her on ABX because he said he worried about infection.Sorry forgot to mention that part!!!

MomtoAiden · May 2nd, 2006, 09:40 PM

AWWW poor baby girl!! I hope she gets better soon.

**JacksonsMom** · May 2nd, 2006, 09:41 PM

Poor kiddo!! I hope she is not in too much pain.

ralea03 · May 2nd, 2006, 10:06 PM

Ouch, that just sounds so painful. I hope she starts to feel better soon.

**srmina** · May 2nd, 2006, 10:12 PM

Oh boy, that sounds painful. I hope she is OK.

**merrifay** · May 2nd, 2006, 10:16 PM

Oh how horrible, I would have passed out from the blood! I hope she heals quickly, that sounds so painful. I hope you have an uneventful day tomorrow.

kylconkie · May 2nd, 2006, 11:25 PM

I can verify how much that little flap of skin hurts when it rips! Somehow I did it in my sleep. It hurt a bunch for 3-4 days. I wouldn't be surprised if she's crabby for a couple of days but it might break the thum habit.

That sounds painful. I hope she is feeling better soon.

**iamblessed** · May 2nd, 2006, 11:50 PM

Oh, no, Ashley! I am so sorry. Poor Isabella.

How scary that must have been for you and her.

I pray she recovers quickly.

BTW, Abigail is a thumb sucker, too.
