Emme's 1st Emergency Room Trip

During the storm Emme decided to jump off the bed into her 4 year old cousin, Hannah's arms, unfortunately Hannah could not withstand the 23lbs and fell to the floor with Emme in tow. Emme hit Hannah's head with some part of her chin (we think) and bit right through her tongue. It gushed blood all over my shirt and it hurt very bad. She cried forever. After 3 hours her mouth was still bleeding, so we met her Daddy at the hospital. Daddy is a paramedic, so we got the VIP treatment. By the time we got to the emergency room her tongue had stopped bleeding and had already began to heal.
Well, it wasn't a completely wasted trip, E got to see Daddy and that is a real treat for her. She absolutely cannot be out of his arms when he is home. There is something about a Daddy and his girl.
Update:
This morning Emme awoke happy and her tongue looked good. She ate good and her tongue did not seem to bother her at all. I was able to get a look at it this morning as we played tent under the covers with a flashlight and it has already closed up majorily! Amazing how we can heal so fast.
7 days until Miss Emme is 2!!
