Took Jacob to the dentist

I had to take Jacob to the dentist today. He took a tumble this past Sunday and really hurt his mouth. His upper teeth/gum bled pretty badly and then became very swollen and tender. He just seemed to still be in pain so I wanted to take him in just in case. Everything looks fine, no sign of infection but I'm afraid it was kinda traumatic for him. Thankfully everyone was so nice and friendly and they let me hold him on my lap in the chair while they examined him and took x-rays. But still he was very squirmy and crying and so upset w/the whole thing. Afterwards he was fine, he just didn't like being held down I'm sure! He liked looking around at all their toys and things they had up on the ceiling. I'm sure he'll forget all about it, it was harder on me than on him! I just had to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening!

Awwww, poor little guy!! Hugs to you AND to him. I agree, it was probably harder on you, than on him. Glad to hear there is no permanent damage. Hope everyone is feeling better today.

Hugs,
Wendy
