Our First Emergency!

Yesterday was picture day at Charlottes school. Needless to say it was a busy morning getting her picture perfect! I dropped Charlotte off at her school at 8 and then Ace at his school at 830 then I came home. After about 20 minutes I got a call from Charlotte's school. I thought maybe she spilled something on her clothes and they want me to bring her something else for her pictures... that wasn't the case! The teacher said that Charlotte had fallen and bumped her lip and she might need stiches! I hung up the phone and grabbed my keys! I think I got there in like two minutes! lol On the way I called Jack and he rushed home too so he could pick up Ace from school while I took Charlotte to the emergency room.

When I arrived she wasn't crying anymore. She was being so brave! Her upper lip was so swollen as you can see from the pictures! The bleeding had almost stopped but her gums were bleeding and were also very swollen. I asked the teacher if she had her picture taken yet and the answer unfortunetly was No! I asked if they had a make up day and again the answer was No!
Charlotte was not thrilled to hear that. After looking at her I realized that we didn't need to go to the emergency room. We needed a dentist! I brought her home and called our dentist. They said to bring her right in. Charlotte wanted to wait for her Daddy! So after about 20 minutes or so Jack arrived and off we went to Charlottes first visit to the Dentist!
She was pretty nervous but she did great! The dentist kept moving her chair and it freaked her out. But after he examined her teeth we were free to go. We've been given a 50/50 chance of her two front teeth turning gray but we are thankful they are still attached and they are baby teeth anyways!
We took her to Sonic for an ice cream and then to Blockbuster where she picked out The Little Mermaid 3 and Monster House for Ace. She was not thrilled that I didn't let her go back to school! But I promised her that I would take her to get her pictures taken at the Mall when her lip feels better and that cheered her right up!
We went home and watched Monster House which we all loved but Charlotte kept hiding in the hallway during the scary parts!
A pretty busy morning that turned in to a lazy afternoon with my hunny and my beebs. :)
