Chip

Georgia fell yesterday and bit her tongue and chipped her tooth.

She was sliding out of a chair and didn't quite get her feet underneath of herself. She only fell from as high as she stands, but she was holding a spoon in her hand and I guess she didn't want to let the spoon go and so she didn't do a good job of catching herself. She hit her chin on the floor. She bit through the side of her tongue and chipped her right front top tooth.

The chip isn't that bad, but I'm going to take Georgia to a dentist anyway, just to make sure there are no sharp edges that need to be filed down. Husband took her to the emergency room to have a doctor look at her tongue, and the doctor said it would heal on its own. It isn't a big enough cut to do anything about. I guess tongue stitches aren't very common. I wanted to have a doctor look at it, though, because the wound kept opening up when she'd move her tongue around.

Poor Georgia. She's fine today. A little fussy when she eats, but I guess her tongue still hurts a bit. I'm glad that chipped tooth is a baby tooth.

Well, all of our kids have been to the ER and/or an urgent care facility multiple times now. They keep us busy, that's for sure.
