My daughter is going to drive me to drink (more)

When my oldest daughter was just learning to walk, she was taking those awkward baby steps around a coffee table and BAM! she fell and hit her chin and bit right through her tongue, but it was just barely hanging there, maybe half the tongue, anyway, rushed her to the emergency room and right into surgery, they put her in one of those papoose slings so her arms were snug, I actually had to hold her head while the doc sewed her up.

It slowed her down a bit, but she got back on the bike.

It's a funny story now, scary as hell when it happens though.

Thay futh. Ith her tongue thwollen? Theems like it would theriously thwell up after thomething like that. I hop the's otay.

Tongue Status Update:   Good, threat level pinkish.   No salt, citrus or hot.   Peanut butter, bread, yogurt and applesauce for dinner.

She's doing fine. Talking up a storm, etc. There are two distinct spots where she lost skin. It looked like it was painful.

Don't worry for those of you who laughed. I found this a bit humorous myself once all was well and figured that others would get a kick out of it. Such is the joy of having kids running around.

Sorry to hear about your daughter.  Did that once as a kid myself, to include the old peeing on a electric fence -- wouldn't advise that one either.  (Never said I was the brightest)
