She had a bad day...

Well if I haven't returned your phone call the past couple days this is why. Our poor little Kate had a nasty fall. We were leaving our neighborhood pool and I was carrying Tate and heard a terrible cry and turned around and saw that she fell hard right on her face. My initial thought was she had split her lip and all I could see what blood until I saw the entire large tooth on the sidewalk. So I threw them in the car and called Preston. It was just so yucky and heartbreaking. I am sure by now some of you are wondering how I didn't pass out. Well I had to lay down after I cleaned her up a little bit. I just had to keep saying to myself it would only make things ten times worse if I fainted. Anyways, my mom hurried over to help with Tate and I met Preston and a local dentist at about 6:00 at night. He checked it out and she got the entire tooth out and he thinks the other teeth around them are going to die soon because she knocked them pretty good too. Her mouth is pretty scraped up inside and is very tender. So we will have to see what happens if we have to get a bridge or something when the time comes. Through this all she was such a champ. After the dentist, we went to Target right after and got her Troy and Gabriella doll and she was so thrilled. The tooth fairy came and was extra kind to her since it was a special tooth. She has been in quite a bit of pain, but she is sure being tough. I think the toughest part is not being able to eat much without it hurting real bad, she loves smoothies though! It was so terrible and sad to see her go through it. I just hate to see my kids get hurt. I know that's what kids do, but it broke my heart to see my sweet little girl be in pain. We just hope the worst is behind us. She looks pretty cute with her new toothless smile though! We love you Katelyn! And thanks especially to my parents and Jaime's fam for helping her through this. And thanks to the future dentist Drew for all his knowledge.
