The Fall

Colton took a horrible tumble out of a tall kitchen chair in our apartment Saturday morning. I saw it happening from the kitchen and it was hard to watch, knowing it was going to be a bad landing. The poor little guy landed right on his face and blood started flowing...out of his mouth and nose and he was hysterical. BoPa was out of town, but his dental partner was able to meet us at the office and take a look at Colton. We got some meds to help with infection and were told to come back today for xrays.

BoPa took xrays today and looked at his teeth and things are not looking good. :( The two middle top teeth are loose and one of the nerve tips has been severed. We went to see a pediatric specialist and we're going to give it a week to see if they tighten up on their own. He hit the tile floor hard!

(How grateful are we that during our 2 weeks without insurance the big mishap involved teeth! Hooray for BoPa, the dentist!)

We're praying those top teeth tighten up over the week so Colton doesn't have to loose them. We'll go back to the specialist next week. Colton has been a champ the past few days - no complaining, wiggling, or screaming when his teeth are getting checked.

This is Colton's new table. He's not allowed to climb up in the tall chairs anymore. :)
