Yesterday at about 4(pm) Sophia slipped off one of our benches at the kitchen table. When I picked her up, she was gushing blood like crazy, and screaming. I called Randy and then the pediatrician. By this time I could see she had all her teeth and there was a big bite out of her lip, as well as a 2nd bite or cut. I took her into see the pediatrician and she recommended we take her to the ER to get stiches. Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dale took the boys - thank goodness- and off we went to the hospital. We got into a room rather quickly (for the ER), and they decided they were going to stich up her lip in both places. They would have to sedate her to do it and she had had a snack at 3:30 so they had to wait until 7:30 to start the stiches. It took about an hour to stich her up and they ended up putting in 10 stiches in total. Six in one cut and 4 in the other cut. We had to wait until the medicine wore off to take her home, so about 10 we were heading home. She was fussy today and her lip was sensitive. But she seemed to be doing a lot better after her afternoon nap.
And then today we celebrated Randy's birthday. Complete with an angel food cake just like when he was growing up. :)

Happy Birthday Randy!! Poor Sophia, although she does look a little proud of her battle wounds in the picture :)
ugh, i've been dreading an accident like this - so far it hasn't happened. it looks like you kept your cool mom!
Oh little Sophia! I know she tries hard to keep up with the boys, but this looks like a toughie! I looked at your blog to see what you posted about Randy's birthday celebration and was surprised to see he was trumped by the almost-2-year-old! Glad to hear you still celebrated and hope Sophie heals fast.
