teeth trauma

Tuesday night Sammy fell up the stairs. His front two bottom teeth (now we know it was the front four) received the blow. He bled and bled from behind his teeth, and they have obviously shifted. But now, four days and a first-ever dentist visit later, he's not favoring those teeth as much.

The middle two bottom teeth are okay for now, but we need to keep watch over them from now on because there is no way of telling just yet if the teeth died in the blow. If they become infected then they'll have to be pulled. But, if they survived, well, then, everything is fine. So we just wait and see and pray for the best.

The outter two from the middle were chipped pretty bad - same goes as with the top.

Poor kid. He's good for the moment, though. Too bad there's no cure for clumsy little boys. I tell ya folks, I don't call him Gale Force for nothin'.

Thanks be to God for baby teeth...I just discovered the other day that Mariana chipped her front tooth in one of her many, many falls. I am not sure which one though!!!

Poor Baby....I hope he is feeling better soon. Need to get those teeth in good working order for lots of Christmas cookies!!
