We had a bit of an emergency at our house Friday night. Ian and Audra were playing and got into an argument which ended in Audra pushing Ian. Somehow Ian fell and hit his two front teeth so hard that it twisted one sideways and twisted the other sideways and up into his gums into his permanent tooth. I paged his dentist who met us at his office. Unfortunately his teeth had to go, there was no way to save them. The dentist thinks we have a good chance that his permanent tooth might have little to no damage, but we won't know until it comes in. Ian was very brave so we bought him a Star Wars clone trooper gun. He is very upset now that he realizes the teeth are gone until his "big boy teeth" come in, which is why it was so hard to get a decent smile from him. He has handled the pain really well and did better than we both expected at the dentist's office. We have to take him back in two weeks just to make sure everything has healed up ok.
