Poor Lizzy

Last night at the Sunday School Christmas party, Lizzy was chasing a ball and fell in the church gym. She bit halfway through her tongue, and sliced it sideways as well. Pretty gross - when I touched it to see how deep it was, the top part of her tongue lifted up. So we went to the after hours clinic which sent us to Children's Medical Center. She saw 2 doctors there and finally they decided not to do stitches because they would have to put her under and they hope it will heal ok. After waiting til past midnight so it would stop oozing blood, they finally sent us home. So they said nothing but cold liquid diet for 2 days and no running or playing for a week. Guess that was the only way she could think of to get out of her punishment of no tv for 4 days that she had gotten for running out in the street. Now she gets to do nothing but watch tv. Poor girl is pretty miserable and swollen today. Hopefully we'll get some liquids down her today. She told me she couldn't drink because her tongue keeps falling off. I think the top layer is flapping when she drinks.
