Ezra’s tongue
We have passed the week mark since Ezra about bit the tip of his tongue off. He was playing on the play structure at India’s school and bit it… well, fell. Lots of blood, lots of crying and even an offer to go to a friends for a popsicles.
I didn’t know how bad it was until the next morning when I got him out of his car seat. He was fingering his tongue and pulling at the flap that was at the tip. Yuck. After dropping India off at school we were off to urgent care to have it looked at. The Dr. wasn’t sure so called the ER. That doc said they could put in a stitch but that it would heal on its own. That’s what Grandpa Brian had told us the night before. It was good to hear it from another person… the Urgent Care doc hadn’t seen a tongue laceration that bad in the 14 years he had been practicing, if that tells you anything.
You can see for yourself:
Still a happy kid… especially after the medicine.
Aren’t the kiddos so cute together?
Yikes, poor Ezra!!!! I am sure that Marvin will weigh in with his story of our friend’s kid who did the same thing while skiing. He had to have stitches but now all is well. The good news is that both kids are as beautiful as ever, and it looks like y’all are really settling in. Love the blog.
