Our poor little Tate took a fall in the shower and had to make a trip to Primary Children's to be put back together again. He was in the shower and I heard a loud crack and then Dylan started screaming. There was a ton of bleeding and by the time I was able to slow the bleeding down, I lifted his lip up and it almost went to his forehead. The frenulum(what holds the upper lip to the gum/bone) was completely gone and there were 2 gapping holes. He must have a high pain tolerance because he did not cry much at all. The bone on the upper gum was also apparent. When the ER Physician saw Tate she said we were so blessed that it did not cut through the outer lip. It was amazing that did not happen. They had to put about 15stitches in his little mouth and they let Mike and I stay in the room during the procedure. Here is the conversation as the sedation was wearing off.
Mommy: "are you ok honey? It's mommy."
Tate: "Mommy I see spaceships."
Mommy: "You see spaceships."
Tate: "um ha. They have lasers and green guys."
Mommy:"What color are the spaceships?"
Tate: "Red and the lasers are red!"
Mommy: "well you need to tell the spaceships to go home now."
Tate: "Ok mommy." .
By this time the Oral Surgeon and the Nurse were trying so hard not to laugh. I also noticed that they were in green scrubs. The problem has been that since the "spaceships," appeared; Tate has been asking to go to the hopital to see the "spaceships" almost every day. Mike told him they have gone back to space and has recommended that we invest in a telescope for Christmas so we can show him where the spaceships belong.
