I will never forget this day as long as I live. It was 10am and Caleb and Lily were on the floor playing just like any other morning. Caleb's little chair tipped over and he fell face 1st into the fireplace! His mouth hit the stone. I rushed over to him and rolled him over and his entire mouth was filled with blood. I was so scared I ran him to the kitchen with my hand under his mouth to catch the blood. I threw him in the sink clothes and all!!! When I got the blood to stop I realized he had a very deep gash on the corner of his mouth. I mean it was deep enough for you lay the side of his mouth open! I called my Nana to come sit with Lily and Christian so I could take Caleb to the doctor. When I got to his Dr's office they took one look at him and told me that he needed to go to the ER and get stitches. So we drove over to the hospital and had to sit for a few min but they took him right back. We waited in a room for about 15min and the Dr finally came in and by that time Caleb was already pissed because he couldn't get down and run around. They wrapped him in a pillow case and strapped him down to a hospital bed and stuck a huge needle into his cut and all around his lip to numb it. He was screaming bloody murder! As the Dr was stitching up his face he was screaming and looking at me like "mom why are you letting them do this to me." I was crying!! I didn't notice until we got to the hospital that his tooth is broken! So after he was all stitched up the Dr told me to follow up with a dentist this week. I got him an apt at a local dentist on Thursday. We don't have dental insurance so I hope it wont cost us an arm and a leg but we will see!! Ill pay anything for him though. Money is no object when it comes to his health. Ill take out a loan if I have to!! He is actually doing okay today I am givin g him motrin for the pain and he is eating well so I am proud of my tough little man!
