It was bound to happen. Especially since Evan had three trips to
the ER before the age of three. Today, while I was at work and Wes was watching
the boys (I had to add that piece!), Keagan fell off the bed and hit his mouth
on the foot board. He bit the inside corner of his lip/mouth, and according to
Evan, "blood was everywhere!" Wes was able to get the bleeding to
stop right about the time I pulled into the driveway. However, he still had a
gaping hole in his mouth from where his teeth bit into the skin. We debated our
plan of action...Go to urgent care. Go to the clinic. Go to the ER. Do nothing
and hope for the best.
And so Wes did the first three and some places twice
because our insurance company gave us the run around. As it turns out, Keagan is
too young to have stitches in his mouth. He was given an antibiotic to keep
away any infection. He is not allowed to eat any crumbly food and I am to swab
the wound with hydrogen peroxide after every meal. I told Wes I got the raw end
of the deal. What three year old is going to allow you to rub that on an open
wound?
