Night Games=Ouch!!!

 Last Friday Brilynn was invited to a late night birthday party.  While she was at the party the rest of us went to dinner and went shopping at the mall.  While we were at the mall we got a phone call that Brilynn had a cut on her forehead and she wanted us to come get her.  In the past Brilynn has been known to be a little dramatic so we weren't in a big rush to get her.  We finished our shopping and then headed to her friends house.  Once we got there we realized that she wasn't being dramatic.  In the pictures it is hard to see the big goose egg on her forehead.  We then got the full story of what had happened.  They had been playing night games and her and another girl came around the corner at the same time and somehow her mouth went into Brilynn's head.

 This picture shows the swelling of her eye the next day.  Her whole side of her face was pretty puffy.  However, we are thankful that Brilynn did not have long term damage like the other girl.  The other girl had to be taken to the ER that night.  She had broken off her top front two teeth.  They took her into surgery on Monday to surgically remove the teeth because what was left of the tooth had been pushed up into the roof of her mouth.  She will have to have a retainer with 2 fake teeth on them until she is 17 or 18 and then they will put permanent teeth in for her.  Such a long process to recovery for her.  Brilynn said she wasn't at school all week.  We feel so blessed that Brilynn's injuries were very minor compaired to her friends.
