Jack had a rough day yesterday. He was hopping along in our kitchen and next thing I hear is Jack crying. When I round the corner to see what happened there is blood everywhere...coming out his nose and his mouth. It was awful. Lauren saw it next. She screamed, cried and ran to the laundry room to hide because she was so tramatized. With both kids screaming and Jason at work, I tried to calm both kiddos while containing the blood streaming from Jack's face. After an hour of crying and the blood finally stopping, Jason came home from work to take Jack to urgent care. The dr. said that there is a 50/50 chance he could lose 3 of his front teeth!! They are loose and Jack has to eat soft food. The poor little guy looks like he has been in a boxing ring. He has blood blisters on is gums, a fat lip and three teeth that could be gone in a few days.
As I have been saying, Jack has had SO much energy this winter. He runs, hops and jumps all the time in the house. This is his second big fall in a month. Now I am going to make him slow down. I don't think I can handle another accident. I just feel SO bad for him.

Tough guy...

Fat lip...

After I took the pictures of Jack, Lauren asked, "Mommy, can you take my picture because I am so cute?" No lack of self-confidence from her! =)

Oh no Jack! We are thinking about you Buddy and hope you feel better soon.
Oh Jackers!! That totally sucks, I bet you were all freaked! Don't worry too much, though, kids hit their mouths all the time and the fact that his teeth weren't knocked out (& put back in) is good. The teeth might turn grayish if the nerves die, but it won't affect his permanent teeth and there's no way anything could ever make that bright smile less adorable, even if he knocked out every last tooth!
And I laughed so hard at Lauren's comment in the last pic. What a card!!! Hahahaa!!!
