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. =)
