WARNING: GRAPHIC MATERIAL ... Macee's Newest BooBoo

So, Labor Day. A day to relax and enjoy with family and friends. Our Labor Day WAS to be spent shopping at my favs, TJMaxx and Marshalls, and eating out for MY birthday! We got to TJMaxx ... we did a little bit of shopping, had a couple items picked out to purchase ... but while we were in the children's furniture section, Macee decided that she needed to climb up onto some children's chairs that were on a small platform. Marty called it, right before it happened he said, "Macee, you're going to fall and hurt yourself." Then it happened, as if it were cued by that of which he had just said! She and some of the chairs fell off the platform! She was crying - only wanted Mommy - I had picked her up and we were walking a bit when I pulled her away from me and saw the pool of blood inside her mouth. That's when I started freaking out! We, of course, rushed out of the store - leaving all our treasures behind - to get to the car so we could look at the damage without everyone and their momma looking at us! Yep, we headed to the ER! We were going to try Urgent Care, but when we called, they informed us that they would be able to stitch her up but that it wouldn't be pretty!

So, Labor Day. A day to relax and enjoy with family and friends. Our Labor Day was spent at Baptist Hospital East ER!

I have said that Macee would give us our first trip to the ER!

oooOOooo, I've got a boo boo!

We were able to get it to stop bleeding before we went to the hospital, but my Nurse Mommy instinct was that it wasn't going to heal without some help!
A close-up! It doesn't look that bad in the pictures, but trust me, it was bad! It was bad for it being my baby!

We still went out to eat afterwards! We went to Bucca's, meatballs and ice cream can make any boo boo better!

The next morning. Macee looks washed out, but that is the flash on the camera. You can see how big her poor lil' lip got - poor baby!

So, here is to prove how daredevilish Macee really is. Her and I went back to TJMaxx last Thursday and she was determined to climb on top of that platform of chairs ... AGAIN! It was a battle to NOT let her!
