Oops! At Daycare...

Yesterday afternoon Justin sent me this picture of Jack's mouth. Needless to say, I freaked out!! It turns out he fell and ripped his frenulum (the flap of skin inside the upper lip.) It is pretty common. Here is the handout from the doctor:

Scenario:

Typically, a youngster who's just learning to bike falls forward, with a minor bump to the mouth. This cut bleeds like crazy and scares parents to death, but it's no big deal.
Description:
The membrane between the upper gum and upper lip is called the frenulum. This membrane may be torn when the lip is bumped. This is usually not a serious injury.

He had a perfectly fine afternoon and even went back to daycare after seeing Dr. Hunt. He slept fine and is eating fine, and other than a little bad breath (ha ha!) he's totally OK.
We are trying to get through the next few weeks, which for me at least are awful busy at work. Mom's birthday will be here soon so hopefully that will be a day of rest for everyone!

Lots of love for now...
