Move tooth move!

Last Thursday night we had our first trip to emergency with Nolan.  Somehow, right before bed, he managed to trip and fall in the living room with his sippy cup in his mouth and knocked one of his front teeth out of place.  As with most mouth injuries there was quite a bit of blood and it took a little while to even be able to see what had happened.  My original thought was that he had bit through his tongue but it turns out the spout of his sippy cup smacked him right in his top right tooth and nearly knocked it out.  Surprisingly enough, the tooth wasn't loose enough to fall out, so after 3 hrs in the waiting room, we got sent home and advised to see a dentist as soon as possible.  We were relieved to go home since Nolan was so overtired and mostly just needing a dose of Advil and a good sleep.
The next day being Remembrance Day, we were not able to see any dentist.  So we kept Nolan on a soft diet for the day and made sure he kept his and our fingers out of his mouth.  We kept giving him Advil for pain at naps and nighttime and the rest of the day he seemed to be ok.  A little clumsier than usual or maybe it was just us being a little more worried than usual...
Saturday we finally got in for a consult with our dentist office where we were told that there really wasn't anything they could do.  Since he is so young and it is only a baby tooth, the dentist really wasn't too concerned and told us to come back in two weeks for a follow up.  Basically it is a wait and see what the tooth will do on its own.  Apparently best case scenario is that the tooth will slowly shift back to a more normal position.  Worst case is that the tooth will die and either fall out or need to be pulled.  So obviously, we are hoping and praying for the best case scenario! If you happen to think about him or us during your day, we would appreciate any prayers for his tooth to stay healthy and to move on its own back to a more normal position.  We thank you!
Now that a whole week has gone by, the swelling is gone, Nolan is happy and eating mostly regular food again (aside from hard crunchy things).  His smile is a little goofier than before but he's still my handsome little man and his smile, goofy or not, makes my heart melt!

The day after it happened
