It was so drama during the weekend of Grandma Chang's birthday. We visited her place as usual in the morning and looking forward to a fun-filled day ahead, our excited Yee Sinn got so carried away that she fell off the sofa. She landed on the floor with a nasty cut on her lips. Unfortunately, the cut went right through her lower lips to her chin. She had to be rushed to the nearest A&E (NUH) to have them stitched up.

X-Rays were taken and the necessary stuffs done to ensure that there wasn't any other unexpected broken bones etc. She was sedated before given 7 stitches. Really hope there will not be any ugly scars on her face.

Kids being kids sure picked themselves up pretty fast. Yee Sinn was up and about the day after and was well enough for school the next day. Oh well, we didn't want to make a big fuss over her fall so we let her go ahead with her usual activities.

The picture above is Yee Sinn with her best friend at school. They even made a pac to wear the same shirt that Monday morning. Her chin is still swollen and thank goodness her wound isn't so noticable.

We had a follow-up with NUH dental clinic 2 weeks after. We had to go to the dental clinic as the wound was within her oral cavity. The pediatirc dentists did a check and to my relief, the wound healed quite well. The stitches on her lips have been dissolved while those on her chin will take a couple of days more. I also got the dentist to give Yee Sinn a check on her teeth. They let her wear a kiddy sun glass (which I think was quite cool) and gave her teeth a good polish. They were generally pleased with her oral hygiene. They ended her trip to the dental clinic with stickers and balloons.
