Wednesday night Gabe was horsing around like usual in the evening when he threw himself into a small chest we have in our bedroom. Mike was with him at the time and said it sounded really painful and loud. He called me home from church and said there was a lot of blood and he did know what he should do. When I got home one arm of Mike's shirt was covered in blood and Gabe's shirt had a lot of blood also. His 2 front teeth had pretty much gone through his upper lip, but his teeth seemed fine. We decided not to go to the ER since he started acting pretty normal. He wouldn't let us put ice on it though. So, thursday morning when I went in to get him up I about freaked out. His upper lip was extremely swollen. I immediately called the doctor to see what they thought I should do. They got us into see the Dr. first thing. Gabe did very well when she stuck her fingers all around the wound and checked for loose teeth, I was very proud of him. She said the swelling was very normal and it should go down in a day or two. She also said his teeth looked fine, but with this kind of impact they could possibly turn grey later on. :(
I'm just thankful that he's not loosing any teeth.

This picture is on thursday evening after the swelling had gone down quite a bit.
He's trying to smile, but it still kinda hurt to.
