You know how as a mother you have these bad thoughts… and you think…
that would be so awful, I hope it never happens… well it happened…
It was Friday and I planned out my day, drop Sami off, Ace Hardware, grocery store, than reading time, nap etc… I didn't throw in trip to the ER.. YUCK!
Well after dropping Sami off I headed to Ace since it's next to the grocery store. I promised Daphne a doughnut if she was good at the Hardware store… seriously yes I bribe… it works.
I am in the store asking the guy questions he is very helpful. I get to the cashier Daphne is whining I want a doughnut… and of course this hardware store has candy everywhere and popcorn, so she is asking… the cashier being nice asks Daphne to help scan the items and she helps. Than as I am asking the lady about a coupon and showing her my kindle and trying to get it to work… which by the way it doesn't… I start paying and the cashier says… no honey don't…
I turn around and Daphne has attempted to climb in the cart on the side and Ezra is sitting in it and it goes over… it was like slow motion…
I grabbed Ezra and the cashier helped Daphne out from under the cart…
I am starting to panic being in this situation and embarrassed by my naughty child…
checking for ouches on Daphne, and than Ezra puts his hand in his mouth and out it comes covered in blood…
they quickly hand me a paper towel and it doesn't stop…
I get a look and it's his lip it needs a stitch, my mind starts to reel… what do I do now…
As I try to get a paper towel in Ezra's mouth to sop up the blood of course he doesn't want me to and the workers are helping me gather my stuff…
I get out to the van and open the slider and get in… Daphne gets in and I sit…
on the floor of my van with the slider open I am starting to really loose it now…
I grab my phone and call Dave… good timing he picks up in between classes I start talking and my voice shakes…. I ask him to come and take us to the ER….
As I sat there trying to stop all this blood and figure out if he still had his teeth several people stopped to help…
One nice lady in particular gave me paper towels, wet wipes, water bottle, and daphne a doughnut….
after a bit Dave got there and we headed to Spokane…
They got us in a room right away and we sat… and the nurse came in and asked questions…
Dave took pictures… daphne watched a movie on the Kindle… seriously so glad I had that…
Shortest ER visit ever and after all of it… they said the trauma that would ensue if they attempted to put two stitches in his mouth is not worth it, it will heal up in a couple of days.
I asked about infection…
they checked all the wounds out… front lip… it didn't go through it is horizontal cut and the inner cut that is just busted open is vertical… and than his front tooth gums… all sore… that tooth might turn grey… He assured us we were right to go in, and told us to follow up with doctor and dentist next week. Dave treated us to McD's after with his gift card he got from my sister for his birthday…
what a guy he knows what his emotional beside her self wife needs… I got the belly to show how much I love it too. We got home I stripped sprayed stain remover on everything and Ezra rested….
This is today, a lot happier… very sore mouth still but it is healing like the doctor said…
we are careful with him, but he is just fine.
And he took his first two steps today! Such a proud mama!
Yes gross but all the blood that came out of this guys mouth… seriously mouths bleed a lot but heal so fast… so astounding… so scary.
In my 7 years of being a parent this has never happened…
I am not that bad of a mother… don't judge me…
