Talking about hitting the ground running (literally)

So Dad was barely home for several hours before Dash1 had Coach Pitch practice. And then he turned around and had practice again on Saturday. Great Grandmother watched Dash2 so the rest of us could go and help out with practice. What a gorgeous day. We were even saying we were hot! Just wait till August :) After hitting the batting cages for a while the team headed to the field for some defensive practice. Shortly into it Dash1 and another boy were headed after the same ground ball and collided. Dash1 (pretty tall for his age - and a head taller than this teammate) ran into another little boy and his mouth hit the back of the little boys head as they tumbled to the ground. Dash1 got up screaming and we could see blood. Dad and I both made it to him about the same time. Dad kept him spitting the blood out. At first we thought he had just busted his lip. But time would tell us that the lip was fine...it never got swollen. However, his two front teeth are another story! They are very sore, blood has pooled and dried above them, and they are loose. Poor baby! I hate to see him hurt like this. And on top of that what do you do with a mouth injury on a Saturday afternoon?!? Well, fortunately I have a friend through Bunko whose husband is a local dentist. I called him and he advised us to do nothing. Basically we have to sit and wait. They may fall out (in that case they would not put them back in since they are baby teeth) or they may stiffen back up in about 6 weeks and be fine. As the night came he was feeling better and slept well. This morning the teeth look much better! His gums seemed to be pretty bruised but other than that maybe those baby teeth are going to hold in there a little while longer!
