Humpty Dumpty had a great fall..

Humpty Dumpty shouldn't stand up in the bath tub!
You guessed it, Grant fell in the bathtub on Sunday night and bit through his tongue. I have never seen that much blood come out of one our kids, ever! We learned last year when Parker bit through her lip, the mouth is very forgiving and heals quickly. We were not sure what, if anything, could be done about his tongue. Lucky for us we have friends/cousins in the medical profession so we started calling in favors to determine if we needed to go to the ER or not. Our nurse friend said yes, to definitely take him so we called Brandon's cousin who is a Doctor. He said to bring him in right away and determined the cut was borderline on whether it needed stitches and it was our choice. Once he explained to us how they stitch the tongue up, we opted not to put Grant through anymore trauma. Tim said he could make a case either way but he would not sew up his son. Grant is on an antibiotic and soft diet for the next few days. You would never know he had this traumatic experience if you didn't see his tongue. It looks better every time he lets us see it. Tonight is bath night, it will be his first since his fall, let's hope he remembers the pain and sits down.
