The other day he was playing with a 2nd grader friend in the yard and she lost her balance on his swing and it hit him in the mouth with the force of her weight which is significantly more than his is at 43 pounds, he was spouting blood and crying; She was freaking out in panic! I ran to him and held my hand over his mouth and as it quickly filled up with blood, I knew we had to go to the ER. I sent her to get Walter and we got in the car and went to the hospital and sat for 3 hours to be told that although he did have some lacerations and quite a lot of ecchymosis, there was really nothing they could do because they don't stitch the inside of the mouth - it may abscess. So, they gave him some tylenol and prescribed a lot of popsicles and peroxide rinses until it heals. He's fine now and nearly completely healed. The swing has not been touched for four days!
Six years and four months old. What a big helper!
