Drama

Earlier in the day before the accident



After



Ouch! It hurts to look at!
I think there is a law irrevocably decreed in heaven that says "when mom and dad are going through a very stressful time (wonderful, yet stressful) something must happen to make everything much more stressful. Example: The day after I had beautiful baby Lowry, Shawn was visiting me in the hospital and we got a call from the couple (wonderful, wonderful couple) that was watching our children, saying that the boys were outside playing hockey and Jarom hit Logan in the mouth with his hockey stick and knocked out his new permanent front tooth that is growing in. Well, have you ever tried to get a hold of a dentist at 7:30 at night. Let me just say that it is not easy. Our regular dentist is out of town for 2 weeks moose hunting. (yes, it is that time again) We called all around town trying to find out what we should do. Finally, we talked to an actual dentist that said he would see him first thing the next morning. So, first thing the next morning Shawn took him in to see the dentist before picking me up from the hospital. When he came to pick me up he told me how wild and crazy the kids had been at the dentist's office. He had Katie, Hannah and Logan with him, and Logan was in the chair so I know he wasn't' running around being crazy. Sorry to say I didn't feel that sorry for him because 3 weeks ago I had all of them with me at the dentist's office at 8:00 in the morning. Top that Mr. Lowry.
Any way, back to Logan. His permanent tooth was broken off at the gum line. We were hoping that the dentist would be able to cap it later on, but it doesn't look like that will happen. The root wasn't developed enough yet so the rest of it will probably fall out at some later date. He had to have a stitch in his gums and in a few years will have to have an implant. He is doing well though, he thinks the after pictures are cool. I think Jarom felt worse about the whole situation than Logan did.


Logan is always smiling and he has such a great smile so it is sad for me to see the before and after pictures. I am glad that it wasn't worse. Keep smiling Logan we all love your smile.
P.S. Zack and Shena we love you thanks for watching our kids. Sorry about all the drama.

My teeth hurt just looking at his photo! I've always worried about that same situation - permanent teeth falling out and no dentist is around. I'm glad it all went well...even though the kids were rowdy ;) How'd you do it with all 5?! You're amazing! Mya is such a little beauty! Congrats and I hope you're getting some amount of rest. We miss you guys!!!

Kim, I can actually say I really know what you are talking about! At least there were no stitches invovled. I also believe in the decree in heaven! Can't we just have one issue at a time please!
