Split lower lip and lower gum line
Injury to upper lip, gum and chipped tooth - both front teeth are loose.
Ella saw her dentist today. Basically he said yes it looks bad, but after an x-ray he said there is really nothing he can do. She did not break any bones or cause any deeper damage than what we can visually see. The teeth are her baby teeth and they will either tighten back up or not....we just wait. The swelling and bruising will go away and she will be just fine. Her chipped tooth is not a major concern since it is a baby tooth. He could repair it, but again it is a baby tooth.
She is on Motrin & Tylenol and a liquid to soft food diet for awhile in order to give the teeth time to tighten. She is complaining of "Big Ouchies on Ella's eip"
Thank you for all your private emails, calls, prayers, and messages for her and us.

I am in pain just looking at the pictures! Poor thing! It is good to know that nothing serious was broken or damaged. Thank goodness.
Poor thing. It is amazing though how kids just tend to bounce back. Niklas fell when he was 18 months and injured his teeth and gums but he ended up just fine as well. He is soooo ready too loose teeth now. He has one a little loose and he keeps messing with it. Ella has a story to tell now and the battle wounds to prove it....I'm glad she is doing okay. Lots of hugs from us,

Hope that she heals quickly. She is a real trouper. Good to hear from you guys.
