9 stitches

 Poor little girl fell at wheeler farm and hit her lip on one of those old tractors.
 She got three stitches inside her mouth and 6 outside.

 Since she is so young and such a fighter she had to be sedated. It took them three times to get her an IV. The nurse tried both hands, so then the IV team had to come. She was a pretty good trooper, through out the whole thing. She just had so many cords and looked way out of it.
We hung out at the hospital all day, since she ate right before it happened and for sedation they have to wait four hours with no food or drink. Cameron was so great, he loved the toys, lunch with dad, and the variety of shows they play.
While she was being sewn up Cam and I went to the cafeteria, but Tyson said she was such a fighter even during sedation. She was arching her back and biting down. They kept having to make sure her airway was clear, but they did it!
Here she is enjoying her Popsicle after coming out of it a little. Don't worry she already got one of the inside stitches out, before we left the hospital. Hopefully we can keep the rest in for awhile. We love this little girl so much, and hope that this is the last trip to the ER, but fear with her love for climbing and determination it may not be.

You weren't kidding, those are awful! Those are the saddest pictures of her. What a terrible place for stitches. Hopefully it heals quickly like lips normally do. Have a fun trip!

Poor girl! and poor mom! It sure is hard to see your kids hurt and with SO many cords. She is quite the cute little girl though even with the fat lip.
