Crew was so swollen this morning! This picture does not do justice. But after he sat up for awhile it helped lessen the swelling a little. Eating was really hard and he didn't want anything but yogurt.
After I quickly threw myself together I took Crew to a very kind dentist. I wish we had thought to call him instead of the other dentist. He looked at Crew and said his mouth was already healing. He also said it was a rather bad laceration and he would have had it stitched if we brought him in the night before. Since Crew was already healing he didn't want to mess with it. Crew's bottom tooth is very loose and could die. He also said all his top teeth could die as well. We just have to watch.
The dentist reiterated what the Dr said: If Crew would have hit a tiny bit further up he would have had a broken nose; If he would have it a tiny bit further down, all of his teeth would have broken off. I believe in tender mercies!
Crew and I stopped at Target to find his treasure at the end of his adventure. He picked a bubble machine that is the shape of Jake's pirate ship. We also bought some IB profen to help with the swelling.
Crew sang quietly on the way home from Target. It made me happy to hear his happy song.
