Kailey's crash!!!


What a day! We were sitting outside last night talking about "what we should have for our anniversary dinner" and the kids were just running around playing as usual. Kailey went down the driveway (her very first time tonight), she turned the corner and we heard a huge crash... I waited for a sec wondering if she had crashed or if it was something else. I heard screaming! So me and Bruce went running over to Kailey and she was holding her face. There was blood coming from somewhere, i assumed her nose or that she had bit her lip. I finally saw blood coming from her lip but it didn't looked horrible so I thought everything would be ok. We got her inside the garage because she was totally freaking out. I then looked at her face again and saw something sitting on her tonge, I looked at her tooth and it was missing a big piece out of it. Great!!! She hasn't even had her 2 front teeth for a year and she has already broken one of them. I called the dentist and we got in first thing in the morning. After she calmed down she said that she had a bad turn on her scooter and basically lost control. She fell hitting her knee first and then her face. She had to of landed directly on her teeth because the only other thing that was bleeding was her lip. OUCH!!! Now I know why she was screaming so loud. Teeth and cement do play well with eachother!!! All night last night she just kept saying how the feel of her tooth was freaking her out! :)

As soon as we came in, he tooth x-rays and we found out that both the front teeth were broke. The 2nd one was just in the back and we couldn't see it. The dentist said it's one of the worst he's seen and he's not so sure he can save it. You can't really tell from the picture but the tooth has a big break all the way up the middle. He had to pull that out because it was the only way to build up the tooth. Kailey had not had a good couple of days... It looks great cosmetically but we are now just praying that it doesn't die and it has to be pulled. Normally they would crown it but since she is so young all of her nerves and roots, etc haven't totally developed in her mouth so we just have to wait. She can't use the front teeth right now. We go back in a week and have them checked out to see how she's healing. She has been in alot of pain the last 24 hours. We are hoping she gets feeling better and that her teeth heal good!
