Well, we woke up to nothing this morning instead of a blizzard. I must admit that since it seems that we still have at least a month of winter and that I can't get in the garden we may as well have a good storm. By the end of yesturday, I was actually looking forward to battening down the hatches and snuggling in for the day. Oh well, it wasn't meant to be.
After lunch yesturday, the little guy that I have been looking after tripped up our basement steps. In doing so, he cut open the inside of the corner of his mouth. I took over to the lady next door and we both had a good look. We even used a flashlight. We determined that I should call his mom and she could decide if she wanted to take him to be seen but that I didn't need to rush him to the hospital.
When I checked in with his parents that evening, ( they had decided to check it out when they got home) his dad mentioned his tooth. I asked what tooth. He said that it had knocked one of his teeth back, and chipped the other. Neither the neighbor or I had noticed any problem with his teeth. I was shocked. His mom was able to get an appointment with a pediatric dental specialist this morning so she picked him up and took him. They got back a little while ago child with gauze in mouth. I started to cringe. I'm not so good with blood.... I can give birth no problem but keep that other stuff away from me. Anyway, apparently, they took him in, wouldn't let Shelley come in, and proceeded to yank the tooth forward. He screamed, she cried at the sound, and after all that torture, it's still not in the right place. The dentist said it should have been seen within a couple of hours tops so they could work with it before it healed. Today they essentially re-injured it. Here's hoping that the adult tooth will come in just fine with no dis-coloration.
So, the question remains.... how long will I suffer with guilt for the little guys pain? It's not like I shoved him or anything, but it happened in my home under my watch.
On another note, I went to a baby shower last night for a girl in our church. It was too much fun being foolish with all the other ladies sitting around me. I'm quite sure we were the entertainment for all those in the room not quite so free with their giddiness. I can't wait til the ladies retreat. I don't know that we will be able to stop laughing the whole time.
Sam has peed on every surface imaginable today! Why is it that some days he gets it and other days he couldn't care less?
Anyway, that's it for the broken thoughts and ramblings for this chick today.... have a good one.
