Picking Pumpkins' and a trip to PCMC!

The Scott Family life wouldn't be complete without some visit to the emergency room; but before I explain the ending to a fun night take a look at a few of the cutest little pumpkins picking the pumpkins from our own garden!





After all that fun we were playing on the front lawn and Madilynne went towards the concrete stairs into the house and tripped and landed w/ a partially opened mouth on the step. A loud crack was heard and I knew it was more than just a bump. She was bleeding profusely from her mouth. After about five minutes the bleeding slowed and she had a large gash on her upper lip and a tooth pushed back. I took her to kids care and had two nurse come look at her and I was sent to Primary Children's Medical Center for stitches from a plastic surgeon. I went to PCMC and waited in the ER w/ many other children, coughing, vomiting, and screaming for 2 hours before we were called back to a room. In the room I saw a wonderful Pediatric resident who said we needed to sew the lip up, she just needed her attending to see it before she called the Plastic Surgeon. The attending came in and said it actually didn't need to be sewn! WHAT? I was fuming mad, not at the physician but at the way things had been handled! I will be fighting that ER Bill all the way! Anyway, little Miss Madilynne is still hurting and on a regular schedule of motrin with a very swollen lip, but the good news is, NO STITCHES and NO BROKEN TEETH!
