Erin's first trip to the ER

It had to happen sometime.  Friday night, we were having a lovely BBQ with A, J, A and M.  Erin and the girls were playing in her room.  Erin was jumping on the bed.  Suddenly, Erin's lip met the edge of the bed.  Tears flowed, followed by blood.  Mom and Dad wiped most of the gore off with a cool, wet cloth and assessed the damage. It appeared she had bitten through her lip.  So, everyone piled into the car and off we went!

Rather than ice, Erin preferred popsicles to soothe her wounds:

The wounds (although you can't see the inside of her lip, which was more mangled than the out):


A few hour later, the Dr. determined no stitches were needed, but since the teeth had pierced the lips, yucky tasting antibiotics were in order. Erin was brave the entire time and passed out in the car a few minutes after setting off for home. It was, after all, 2 hours past bedtime. Dr. A hopes that all future trips to the ER are as uneventful as this.
