.... what's next?

Man, this kid needs to live in a padded room and wear a helmet at all times!! I can't handle him hurting himself all the time! We went to the park last week because it was a relatively nice day, and we are both tired of being cooped up inside. He was so excited, just running around and shrieking. This was really the first time he has been able to climb up on this particular play structure by himself, and he was loving it. Well, after about 5 minutes, he decided he wanted to go down the slide. He goes down slides on his belly, feet first, rather than on bis booty. This usually works out best because he can catch himself on the bottom, and I don't have to worry about him falling backwards and hitting his head. Well, we get to the top of the slide (a short one by the way!) and I decide to let him go first, as I didn't feel like squeezing my fat pregnant butt onto a slide made for kids. Right before he went, I just had a bad feeling and knew it was going to happen. I am so mad at myself for ignoring that intuition. Anyway, he pushed off and slid down. I watched his face the whole way, and on it was pure delight. Well, he hit the bottom, but his feet didn't plant, so he flopped off of the end of the slide and landed on his belly. When he did that, his head bounced forward and he basically bit the end of the slide with his top teeth. It broke my heart to watch his face go from so happy, to full of pain. I slid down after him, and picked him up. His bottom lip bled a bit, but other than that, everything looked fine. He only cried for maybe a minute, and then wanted to go play again. This led me to believe that everything was okay. On the way home, he was attempting to eat his snack, but was crying with each bite. By then, it was after 4 pm (on a Friday) and I knew I wouldn't be able to get him in to a dentist. We had to go through the whole weekend with him in pain. Finally, Monday came and I got him in to the dentist. It turns out that his two top front teeth are a bit loose. It is pretty much a waiting game right now. One of three things could happen. One, the teeth could loosen up and just fall out. Two, they might die from the trauma and turn black, and then need to be removed. Or, they might just tighten back up into the bone and be just fine. I am so worried! The dentist said just coming back for his 6 month check up would be fine, so I take that as a positive sign. But, I think I might just bring him back in in a few weeks so they can follow up. I am crossing my fingers for the best!
