We had a our second trip to the ER last night, this time it was for Mr. Kyle. With his new found freedom of crawling, he decided it would be fun to crawl down our back stairs....head first. Well, he managed to completely knock out one of this 2 lower teeth, and the other is barely hanging on. After 4.5 hours at the ER, sedation, IVs and 1 stitch, we brought our little guy home.
We went to our dentist this morning and he said it's likely the other tooth will fall out too, so Kyle will be missing his 2 bottom teeth for the next 6 years. Poor Guy! He truly looks like a hockey player with his sporty helmet and bashed up mouth.
I will post photos soon. Miraciously, his lip and mouth don't look that bad (because the impact was solely on his 2 little teeth). Back to baby food we go.

Oh no Laura! Poor Kyle!! Sounds like he's fine, but I hope you guys are alright.
oooooooooh my gosh. well, i speak from experience when i say this...missing teeth are not that bad. i've been looking at my little jack o lantern's toothless smile for 3 years and now i can't imagine what she'll look like when she actually does have a front tooth!! that's why kids have "training" teeth, so they can wreck them before the real deal comes in. he'll still be mr. GQ, mark my words.
