Ugh

Well, it was bound to happen.
Anders took a mighty fall.
He actually fell out of our bed...while he was asleep. He smashed his mouth/front tooth.
It happened at 5 in the morning, and there was no blood. After he was done crying he fell back asleep.
All seemed well.
However, when I went to pick him up at school the next day, and as I sat there watching him as he listened to a story, I noticed he didn't quite look like himself. Like someone who shaves off his moustache, or isn't wearing gtheir glasses, I couldn't put my finger on it at first.
Then I figured out his upper lip was swollen, but not at the lip, more between his nose and his lip. When we got home, Anna looked in his mouth with a flashlight and he had a huge bruise on his gum above his lip, and his tooth was loose. Ugh. A call was made to his dentist. It was after 6 so I had to call him at his home. The dentist was reassuring and helpful. Swelling doesn't happen right away but by 24 hours later it is at it's worst.

In the morning Anna took Anders to the dentist, for his second visit.
Yes, one of his front teeth was pushed forward in the fall, was a bit loose.
Hopefully it will heal and tighten back up. It worries me. We have to keep an eye on his tooth and chewing habits over the next month. I really hope his tooth will be okay. I sort of can't even think about it not being okay.

In the meantime, he doesn't quite look like himself, talk like himself, eat like himself, but he still plays like himself.
