Oh Days Like This!!!


So this morning while we were at playgroup at a friends house Parker had an accident. I feel horrible because I let him go out back without me(which he does in our backyard everyday without any problems). He was out there maybe 30 seconds and I hear him crying and coming to the door. I go to see him and he has a mouth full of blood. I rush him to the sink and the minute he turned and looked at me I knew. His big tooth in the front was pushed up into his gums and he had a huge fat lip. I tried to stay very calm and call our dentist to see what he suggested. He referred me to a Pediatric Dentist. I called them and they said to come right over. One of the little boys said he fell off the tricycle and fell onto the wooden step. By this point my emotions were catching up with me. I'm sure all the playgroup moms just wanted to give me a big hug and tell me it would all be all right. I hurried to the car and off to the dentist we went. Poor Parker cried so much that he fell asleep. I got there and he woke up while I took him inside. I filled out paper work and they took us back about 10 minutes later. They needed x-rays (which me in my delicate state couldn't hold him). He screamed while the nurse held him. Oh how I hate that cry. You know the 'Mom why are you letting them do this to me cry???' So the doctor looked at his x-rays and said, "The tooth has been pushed up a little bit but most of it has been broken off. I was actually relieved to hear that. It means the tooth just might have a chances of healing and not dying. I knew they can always cap a broken tooth to make it look good again. So we have to go back in 2 weeks (which Billy will be here to help me with it YIPPEE!!!). They will check to see if there is damage and also fix the broken tooth. So I just want to say how grateful I am to have people that know how to fix things like a baby's tooth. People with kindness and understanding....especially when they know mom is a little shookin up by the whole mess. (I seriously almost lost my breakfast when I saw his mouth.) I'm grateful for great friends who call me to make sure Parker and I are okay. I truly am blessed to be where I am right now.
Thanks Everyone!!!

Oh, Tara, I know just how you feel! I'm so sorry this happened. Thank goodness for a wonderful Mommy who can make it all better (and for a second set of teeth later in life too!)
