OUCH!

Josiah is cutting teeth.  Three teeth at one time to be exact.  He has one bottom tooth that has come out already, the other bottom tooth is just getting ready to poke through and one on the top is getting ready to poke through as well.  Needless to say he hasn’t been a happy baby over the past few days.  Tonight things were made a little worse when we were at Applebees.  We took Kendall’s mom out to dinner for her birthday and while we were there Josiah fell forward in his high chair and slammed his face in to the table.  I could tell he had hit hard cause I heard it.  Unfortunately it was his mouth that hit the table and later on we looked in his mouth at his gums and his upper gums are bruised.  I’ve never actually seen bruised gums, but apparently it is possible.  He hit his little gums on the table right in the place where a tooth would be coming in, so I hope nothing was damaged.  Poor little guy.   I decided to look up bruised gums on the internet to see what we could do or if there might be problems.  I’ve discovered that if you look up bruised gums you get to hear about a lot of child injuries.  I decided to stop looking up this particular subject after reading about a kid falling and hitting his mouth on a toilet and reading about how his tooth was all twisted funny after that.  *Shudder*  Anything having to do with mouth pain really bothers me for some reasons.   I’m sure this is just one of many injuries to come as he gets older and learns how to walk.  Kendall and I just feel kind of bad for him since he is hurting from cutting teeth and then bruises his gums on top of that.  Ouch….
