Ethan's fall!


I have to say that Ethan is my most accident prone child. Whether it be his fault or he be the brunt of someone else's mishap. So this night he and Aidan were bathing. I tell him all the time to not get in and out of the tub because he might slip and fall. Well he did just that. He got out of the tub and somehow slipped and fell forward knocking two of his top teeth loose. I wasn't in the bathroom when it happened but heard a lot a crying and screaming which is pretty normal. I quickly went in there to see blood coming out of his mouth. I really didn't think much of it. I just assumed he bit his lip or something and started to rinse his mouth out. It wasn't until later when he says to me, " Can you put a band-aid on my tooth?" did I realize what he had done. I immediately called Ben freaking out because I didn't know what to do. He told me to call our brother-in-law in Vegas who is a pediadontist. I called Jaren up and explained to him what happened. He pretty much told me there was nothing anyone could do. I would just have to watch it and cut up all his food for him for the next two weeks so he wouldn't be using those teeth to bite into his food. He said either it will heal depending on if he damaged the nerve or not or if he did damage the nerve the tooth would eventually die and fall out. So this happened about a month ago and I am sad to say I am pretty sure it is dead and will eventually fall out! My poor little 2 year old might just have to have a missing tooth until he is nine or ten!

So does he still have his two front teeth or did they fall out?-Sherry
