If I Make It Through the Next 10 Days!

I had my first freek out moment with Meigan this evening that makes me want to keep her in a bubble until her post-op visit on the 30th! I was in one room talking on the phone while the girls were playing out of my sight. All of a sudden I hear crying from Meigan and Jennifer screaming Mom! Needless to say, I get off the phone and met Meigan in the hallway with blood coming from her mouth and Jennifer had blood all over her shirt from comforting her. Jennifer said she ran into the door of the laundry room. All I know is I was in shear panic when I saw her lip bleeding like it was. I gently wiped off what I could to see if she busted open the stitches, but it was so hard to tell since the stitches go from the the bottom of her nose, down through the front of her lip to all the way back up on the inside. I was able to get the bleeding to stop and could tell it came from a spot just on the inside of her lip. More than likely hit by her tooth. Stitches still intact from what I can tell. I know it had to have hurt:( So, if I could keep her in a bubble for the next week, I would!
Ole' Bob the blender is out of the cupboard now and making his magic concoctions for Meigan's soft food diet. Even if her mouth hurts, she still eats, bless her heart.
Once the swelling goes down some I will post a pic or two of her new and improved lip!

How brave you are Steff. I probably would have went into such a panic I couldn't do anything; but, I guess the Mom instinct kicks in first and then you collapse afterwards. Glad it wasn't her stitches and it's good to know none of this was affected her eating habits. God Bless.

Awww...poor girl! I hope things are looking better now.

Thinking of you all.

She's a trooper! Lips can blead something fierce when hit the right way. I hope it wasn't anything damaging to her new and improved surgery.

Can't wait to see her!
