Emergency Room Visit

Well, the picture isn't the greatest, but Sasha has 2 stiches in her lip and we all went on our first emergency room visit.  It was 7 and we had just got in the bath.  I was getting the shampoo ready to wash hair when I heard a thump and then Sasha crying.  I turned around and Sasha face and mouth were all blood.  I finally got it rinsed enough to see that she had cut her lip open.  I called her Dr who said it was time to go to the emergency room.  While waiting for the Dr however, we did finish the bath including doing hair!  Hey, I gotta keep the schedule going.

We got dressed and headed off to DMH about 20 minues away.  We had to wait about 30 minutes then it was our turn.  After a visit with the intake nurse who said she had actually put her tooth all the way through her lip and out the front.   Her tooth was a little croooked so momma just pushed it back where it should go.  The nurse said we should really let the dentist do that.  Once we got into the ER cubicle, Leeza had to use the bathroom in there while Sasha asked a million questions.  The DR finally came in and said it needed stiches.  They came back with a board and 2 nurses and they strapped her to the board.  Poor kid.  She started to get upset so I promised her a new life vest for our disney trip if she didn't cry and she was so so brave and did not struggle or shed a single tear.  What a trooper.  I was so proud of her.  I would hate to think if it had been Leeza.  We probably would have ended up in the operating room and knocked her out.

SO how did this happen since I was sitting 6 inches from them at the time.  Sasha told me she was sliding in the bath tub.  I didn't quite get it, but the next day the truth came out.  Leeza had convinced Sahsa to slide down her back.  So while Sasha was climbing onto Leeza's back, she fell forward and hit the tub.  Only in the minds of 2 five year olds could that have been a good idea.
