Quincey's First Stitches!


That's right!.... Quincey received her first set of stitches on Thursday.

Thursday is usually a great day at our house. Quincey has dance class with her best friend, Savannah, and then afterwards Katie(Savannah's mom) and I take all 4 of our girls to McDonald's to play (and sometimes eat!!)
However this Thursday was not so great. During dance, Miss Michelle takes the girls down to get a drink in the middle of class. On the way back up to class, Quincey tripped on the stairs and 2 of her front teeth went all the way thru her bottom lip. I heard a scream and then saw Quincey coming through the door with blood dripping down her face. I took her in the bathroom to wipe it off and then Katie and I looked at her closer to discover that her teeth had gone through her lip. We gathered our stuff and went straight the the ER.
She only needed a couple of stitches to close her lip and so I decided to not have them sedate her and just block the nerves and stitch it fast. The blocking medication stings terribly!!
( I have heard grown men ball like a babies in the ER from it!!!) Quincey was a trooper!!! She hardly cried!! What a brave little girl.
After she was all stitched up, I took her to the dentist. Bad news. The force broke her teeth and she needs to have them pulled! Nice.... 2 of her 4 front teeth missing??!?!?!
Here are the pictures!!
