I told the kids they could go outside. I think the temperature is still in the teems but they wanted to go out. Well the 8 year old decided to lick a metal pole and his 10 year old sister pulled him off of it. I've never seen so much blood from the mouth, it was bad. Thankfully it seems to have stopped. The front half of his tongue is raw and bright but the bleeding stopped. That was way too much "excitement" for a Saturday morning.

My jaw dropped to the floor! That is awful! I guess that's a lesson learned the hard way, poor kid.  |

Oh no! Poor kid! That made MY tongue hurt. Fortunately, I've heard tongues heal really quickly. I hope the rest of your Saturday is much less eventful!

LOL - Ohmyword! I'm sorry I'm laughing because I'm sure it was traumatic, but I have that scene from A Christmas Story going through my head!
No, really, that's awful! Poor kid! I'm sure he's going to have a sore mouth for a few days!
If it makes you feel any better, I got the inside of my bottom lip stuck to a metal shovel when I was a kid. (LOL)

Immediately after it happened it hurt but it doesn't seem to bother him to badly at this point. we saw the dr. (And bless that lady that took the call she tried not to laugh but couldn't help herself). She recommended salty foods and Gatorade and said he should be good in a few days. If he starts running a fever she said to call her but doesn't really foresee that happening. Course we did joke that with this particular child it was much more possible than others.
