He does it again!

I am not quite sure I will ever stop having the emotions of near panic when my darling son injures himself.  I actually thought today's incident was going to warrant a trip in the ER but we only ended up having to go to the doctor.

My sweet boy was spinning in circles which is something he does on a regular basis.  This time he trip and hit his face on the corner of the coffee table.  He immediately started crying which for him means it is serious because he normally doesn't cry when he bumps something.  He buried his face in my shoulder and it took me a couple minutes to get him to let me look.  When I did he had a mouthful of blood!  I am thinking a bunch of thoughts simultaneously, "where's it coming from?", "Oh my gosh did he knock out a tooth".  Once I started cleaning him up I saw he had a gash toward the inside of his lower lip but I couldn't tell how bad it was.  I called my husband and rambled incoherently to him (he texted me later and said I'm not sure what is going on but I'm praying for the boys) all he heard was ER and blood.  Then I called my sister at work (she's an RN) and she said call the doctor before going to ER.  I called the doctor and they were so good about getting me an immediate appointment.

By the time we got to the doctor he wasn't crying, blood had stopped he was smiling and then I noticed he had something really dark purple almost black on his tooth.  I lifted his upper lip and he had managed to hit his gums on the table to and it looked worse than the lip.  By now I wasn't near the mess I had been so I took it in stride.  The doctor pretty much said mouth wounds bleed A LOT and also heal quickly.  Fortunately the gash wasn't big enough for stitches WHEW!

Oh and did I mention I was babysitting my 7 1/2 month old nephew too and he was there the whole time so I had to drag both boys to the doctor?  I didn't?  Well it was quite the adventure and both boys were so good. Pray for my son that his mouth will stop hurting and the swelling will go down please.  He's a trooper and I know God's hand is on him.

Here is to an uneventful rest of the week!
