Gemma took a hard fall a couple of days ago running to get into the car to take Gavin to school and smashed her mouth up pretty badly. She had to get stitches (2 inside and 2 out) and they are worried about her teeth, whether or not permanent damage might have been done. After the stitches are out and the swelling goes down, she has to see a dentist to make sure her little pearly-whites aren’t going to fall out or something worse.
She came over after the stiches (where she did not cry one little bit, even when she got the shots) and I watched her lip just swell and swell and swell. When she tried to eat a little and it hurt, very quiet tears streamed down her cheek. She is such a sweetie-pie, no drama. Turns out, though, that popsicles are the ticket! Gemma is in frozen-treat heaven!
I love you, my little GemGem.
Poor baby! We must pray over those teeth.
Ohhhh Gemma, I pray her sweet little mouth and teeth will heal up all the way! Jordan was wrapped up like that when he had to get stitches from a neighbor’s dog bite to his face…hard to see them go through stuff like that. So sorry
So glad you found the secret for her! She deserves a little something special for all she went through. I’ll be praying for her little mouth also. That bottom picture reminds me of a little puppy dog!…so darling!
Thanks everybody! It WAS really hard to see her go through that, but she is a trooper and came through nicely;o)
She gets her stitches out on Friday!
