OUCH!!

Dyllan had her first really bad fall. She was playing with her cousin and tripped and fell off of our porch onto cement, head first. She started screaming, Dave ran out there and I followed right behind him. I grabbed her out of his arms and my "mommy mode" turned on quickly!!! I was so scared because of how much blood was coming out of her little mouth and nose. My poor little girl was hurting so bad. After cleaning her mouth out we come to realize it was a lot better than we had first thought. Her two top front teeth looked somewhat separated from her gums and the gums were super swollen. Her poor little top lip was huge as can be! We gave her Motrin and let her fall asleep on the couch next to me. Anytime she is sick or hurt she gets babied big time (and she loves that), I just feel so bad for her and want to take her pain away! This morning we went to the dentist and found out really good news. Her teeth were just loose and the dentist said they would tighten up with time. She is now on a soft diet for a week, this should be fun for her!!! Lots of ice cream, pudding, applesauce, yogurt, all of her favorite foods! So now this weekend, what will we be doing??? Putting up lattice around the porch so no one falls off again! Oh the joys of being a parent!

  2. Glad she is better! Thomas got hurt going down the slide at school feet first but on his tummy on 3/27/09. When he went off the end his chin hit the slide and his top teeth went through his bottom lip. He ended up with 4 stitches. Poor guy, the novacaine even wore off before the Dr. was done!
