OK.... not really. But Kiah came close! Last night there was an accident and got the raw end of the deal, literally. The short of the story is, Kiah tore her Superior Labial Frenulum. For those of you who have no idea where that is..... here is a diagram.
I was pretty sure she was fine, for the most part, other than some pain and crying. But it was hard to tell how high up she tore it. So I took her to the Urgent Care just to make sure. I know from personal experience there isn't much they do for mouth injuries. (I bit the tip of my tongue off when I was about the same age as Kiah) The mouth heals so quickly!
Just as I thought, ultimately she was fine. There was a lot of tears and blood, but it will heal without further treatment. Just some ice packs.
I didn't take a picture of the actual injury because I want it to begin to heal, and every time we take a peak it re-injurs it. So I got a picture of her fat lip and rug rash.
Poor girl! Just in time for School to start. At least picture Day is away off still!

Jefferson tore his on the sidewalk last year - can you believe how much the mouth bleeds?! His is fine now. It didn't grow back all the way, but it looks fine. I hope she gets feeling better soon!!!
Ouch! No fun!
that is no fun, I hope it heals quickly
