Catie got stitches today :(

So today, I was getting our swimming stuff together and other things ready because after I got my checks printed, we were going to meet a friend at the North Shore Aquatic Center and I didn't want to have to come back home to get our stuff. While I was in her room gathering a couple of items, Bekka started yelling that Catie was hurt. So I picked her up and was trying to comfort her. When I turned her around there was blood everywhere! She had hit her chin on the coffee table and her tooth went through the top lip of her mouth on the right side! I called Travis to tell him I may have to take her for stitches and then I called my Mom to see how deep a cut would need to be to need them. After debating for a few minutes while I got the bleeding under control, I decided to take her in. They said that because it was above the lip line, they would probably need to put in a couple of stitches, she ended up with three. Travis met us there and took Bekka so I could stay with Catie. They had to strap her down to help to keep her still and she cried so hard and kept saying Mama. I felt so bad and I probably was crying as hard as she was! I bet that she has already forgotten about it, but I haven't and probably never will! My poor little girl, all she wanted was her mommy and I couldn't do anything about it! Once they were done, I got her off of the bed and held her close trying to comfort her and get her to calm down as I tried to calm myself down also. We walked Travis to his truck and then the girls and I went to visit my Mom at work for lunch. After that, we went home and Catie fell asleep in the car....she slept for about 3 1/2 hours this afternoon and I am sure she really needed it after the traumatic afternoon she had.
