We Always Knew Something Would Happen....

....We just didn't know when and what. Dillon plays so rough and moves so quickly that we were basically waiting for him to break something or get a dislocated something. Well we were right to wait for something but weren't right about what.

Saturday morning Dillon was sitting on the floor by the front door looking at the rainbows on the floor made by sun shining through the window. I walked by and said the rainbows were pretty and kept on walking down the hall. Next thing I knew he was running up to me really crying. I finally got to look at his face and blood was coming out of his mouth. My first thought was that he knocked a tooth out, but thankfully that isn't what happened. He did, however, move the tooth next to his bottom right front tooth forward. Not sure what he did to get it to move forward but leave it up to Dillon. It really bled and hurt for about a half hour (he's got a high pain tolerance so when it hurts it really hurts him) and then he was on to other things.

Not really knowing what to do (you don't go to the ER for a moved tooth do you?) we called Dillon's dentist. They must expect calls on the weekend because the call service patched us right through to the dentist. He helped us figure out how bad it was, (even asked us to try moving it back into place! But by that time Dillon had had enough of us looking in his mouth), we talked to him for a while and then planned to see him the beginning of the week.

We went to the dentist, Dillon had his first x-ray taken. So far all is well and we don't expect anything to really come of it. Although we have to keep a close eye on it for the next 6 months to make sure that there is no discoloration or infection.

The pictures don't look too bad, but at the time we thought it was horrible.
