Jacob update

It seems that Jacob may have done a little more damage to his jaw than just the busted chin. We noticed the next morning that he just wasn't talking the same, and the left side of his face looked swollen. We also saw that his bottom two teeth weren't as close together as they were. I took him to the dentist yesterday. According to his dental x-rays his teeth are okay. She said that since the ones there are his only permanent teeth, and they are still growing in there really isn't much to worry about. She did think it best for him to see an oral surgeon to check out his jaw. They can do better x-rays or even a ct scan for the jaw. So we go on  Monday to check and see what if anything is going on. I really don't think it's going to be anything major since he's not having any trouble with eating or talking. I'm hoping he's just bruised a little or he's having a bit of TMJ that will go away once the swelling goes down. Thankfully he's not in any pain anymore. Just dealing with the itchiness of the stitches healing.

Please be in prayer for him. I will update on Monday how he's doing. =)

Stitches

Jacob got his first stitches yesterday. He took a big fall off his bike. He and Elijah were racing, Jacob looked back at Elijah and lost control. I saw the whole thing happen. It was quite terrible. I don't think I've ever ran so fast in my life. When I got to him all I saw was blood pouring from his chin and his mouth. We quickly loaded into the car and rushed to the ER. Jacob was very brave, and only kinda cried once when they put the numbing medicine on it. After some xrays to make sure there was no other damage he was stitched up and we were back home.
He's doing well today, just a little sore. He's having a hard time eating since his teeth got knocked around a little and are sore. In a few days I'm sure he'll be back to normal. We go next Wednesday to get his stitches out and he will then head over to the dentist for us to check on his teeth.
After seeing that fall I'm tempted to invest in a lifetime supply of bubble wrap. Especially for this kid. I'm pretty sure with his track record he'll have many more! Haha!
