Biking and Another ER Visit

On Wednesday night, August 6, 2012, Lili finally took off and rode her bike all by herself, no training wheels or parents attached. Yay, Lili Jo!!!

At 9:30am Lili fell off of her bike and split open her chin. So, back to Methodist ER we went. Lili was not at all happy that she might have to have more stitches (Apparently the memory from the last round didn't fade over the past 6 weeks.)

On the way we called Ma-maw Kim, Ma-maw Sheila, and Papa Bill and they all three met us back at the ER. The nurses took her vitals and cleaned out the wound.

Then the doctor came in and checked things out. He really wanted to do stitches, but upon seeing how upset she was he agreed to try gluing it to see if it would work. So, the nurses then put the numbing stuff on and then taped it down really good. We waited for about an hour before the doctor finally came back in.

While she was waiting she (and Monkey and "B") watched a little Phineas and Ferb and played games on Ma-maw's I-Pad. Before the doctor came back into the room, Lili went outside of the room to sit on Papa Bill's lap. She was touching her chin and grinning.

Lili - "Look Papa, I can't feel my chin! ... ... Go ahead, touch it, you can't feel it!"

Papa - "I can feel it, you just can't feel it."

Lili - "No, really, you can't feel it at all!"

Then the Dr came back in and glued the wound shut. He told her she couldn't move or talk for five minutes and if the glue held he'd let her go home without stitches...I think it was pure torture for her, but she didn't move or talk and the glue held, so she was free to go.

Today, while Lili was talking with Daddy she said something to him and he tickled her.

Lili - "You have to stop or you will smile my thing open!"
