A Double Header

Dennis carried a screaming Matt into the house last night. This is not unusual, as Matt loves being outside and detests coming in for a bath. I wasn't too concerned, until Dennis turned around and I saw the blood.


Apparently, Matt had been riding the skateboard and fell off, hitting the asphalt with his mouth. Head wounds bleed a lot, and it took a while to see what was going in with Matt's mouth. He knocked a tooth backwards, and gave himself a fat lip. We debated going to the emergency room, but decided to wait and see the dentist in the morning. The poor kiddo snuggled on the chair with a blanket, and I went to give Nolan a bath.

Nolan stood up and tried to climb out of the tub. He slipped, fell, and cracked his chin open. This is when we had our second "do we go to the ER" discussion of the night. In the end, we decided on a Diego bandaid and close monitoring.

Nolan seems to be doing fine this morning, but Matt's lip is quite fat and his tooth looks pretty bad. His jaw is also pretty sore. Our dentist is not in today, so we are going to the pediatrician- hopefully they can take care of the tooth and reassure us that Matt's jaw is just fine.

I don't know how much more of this "excitement" I can take- here's to a very boring Friday!

Better- Matt's lip is back to normal and his tooth hasn't turned gray, which is a good sign! Nolan's chin is just fine. We're all fighting a cold (except for Nolan, who seems to have escaped it)!
