Dantzel's biffy

Poor baby girl fell on the sharp corner of an open dresser drawer and cut her lip real good. I called Jeff and he rushed home very fast (record time for him, he only had to run a few red lights). He arrived home and grabbed Dantzel to take her to our pediatrician's office down the road a ways. Little did he know he would be doing some off-roading, like going down in a ditch and up and around a semi (stuck in the ditch). Thank goodness they were in the truck. They got to the Dr. office and they immediately got her in, and the Dr looked at it and said I can't do this, you need to take her to Dell Children's Hospital. I guess matching up the lip line can be pretty tricky. Jeff got Dantzel back in the truck and she got mad at him for doing her buckle, she likes to do it herself, but come on baby girl, right now? She was so tough.
They got to the hospital and I arrived shortly after. They gave her some medication via nose spray that was supposed to relax her so they could do the stitches, well that did not work. The medication made her angry, she did not want us to touch her or doing anything for her, like help her figure out the toys they had given her. She was really happy to see me when I walked in the door, she said "good morning mommy" but she would hit me every time I tried to touch her or hold her. They ended up having to start an IV and give her medications to sedate her. It was so sad seeing my little girl like that. She got three stitches and shortly woke up from the sedation saying "hi gapa"(grandpa) and begging for food. "popcorn, pancakes, strawberries, bananas" poor girl doesn't skip meals too often, this was the worst part for her, 7 hours without eating.
It was a pretty traumatic day for all of us, but Dantzel did so great and was up and about, good as new the next day.

Poor Dansi

Waiting for stitches.

Sedated, so sad.

Ready to go home.

This picture was taken 3 hours after stitches, it has healed very nicely.
