Poor Bro Bro!!

This is what happens to furniture when it gets in Brody's way...


This time though, the furniture won!

(If you click to enlarge the picture you can see some of the damage to the front teeth)

This accident occured right around 5:15 last night, just as we were headed out the door to do some car shopping. After wiping away some tears and a lot of blood, we discovered that two of his precious baby teeth had been nicely dislocated in his mouth. I immediately called the dentist, whom the other children go to, and the answering service told me that Dr. Lee would not be able to help because Brody was not an established patient. Wow, I was not happy to hear that, I just really wanted some advice. So I thought for a moment and than called a friend from church, her husband and father have a dental practice here in town. She told me she would call her husband, and sure enough less than 5 minutes later he called and told me to bring him to his office.

Brody was brave and Dr. Spears pushed his little teeth forward back to there settling point. We know there is a chance they may have suffered some nerve damage, but for now they are there.



As for the lip, let's just say he looked like a monkey when he woke up this morning. It is badly brusied underneath, but through it all Brody still wants his kisses from him mommy, and of course I can never say no to those!!
