Another Injury

Yesterday we had another injury. Kannon hit his teeth on the metal ring on the outside of the trampoline. Dad had moved the trampolines right next to each other on Saturday so he could mow, and we were playing tag and bouncing from trampoline to trampoline to evade each other. Maverick was it, and he pushed Kannon from behind to try to tag him at the same time Kannon was jumping to the other trampoline. He hit his teeth and started screaming and ran inside, holding his shirt to his mouth. Maverick and I followed, trying to calm him down. Kannon ran into the kitchen. I grabbed a paper towel and pushed it into his hands, then ran to get Mom. She was just about to give Kadyn a bath and hadn't heard Kannon's screams over the running water. I told her what happened, and she immediately went to go look at him while I took care of Kadyn. Mom came back with Kannon moments later, Maverick and Faith close behind them. Mom managed to calm Kannon down enough for him to let her look at his teeth, and what she saw wasn't good. He had jammed his teeth up into his gums. Mom called Dad and sat Kannon down on the couch. She then called Gram and Pappy, who were there in minutes. Gram and Mom took Kannon to the Flower Mound place while Pappy stayed and watched us. About 45 minutes later, Pappy got a text from Dad saying that they still hadn't gotten in to have Kannon's teeth checked, it was too busy. Dad needed us to pack a tote bag with some books and toys to keep Kannon occupied while he was waiting to be seen. We packed a bag with books, his notebook, his froggy, and some cars for him to play with. Dad went back up to the hospital to give Kannon the bag. We went to bed soon after. Kannon didn't end up getting home until after midnight.
Today, Mom and Dad looked for a dentist they could take Kannon to. They found one that looked good, and Dad went up with Kannon for his appointment. They came home with good news. Kannon had pushed his baby teeth up into his gums, with no damage to his permanent teeth. He didn't have to have surgery. His baby teeth would come out on their own. He just has to eat soft things for a while to keep his teeth from hurting.
So, (thank goodness) this injury wasn't as bad as it could be!
