(the only pic I took of bradens swollen face- it doesn't do it justice, but you can tell he looks different)
Troy apparently went into the wrong speciality when it comes to braden. we needed a
dentist in the family!!
in september braden broke a tooth when he hit his head on camiron- after 4 hours at the dentist
all the pieces were removed... it was a little on the miserable side for both he and I-
Sooo when a little girl "took him down" on the tramp on thanksgiving and he hurt yet another tooth-
he and I were both a little on the emotional side. Poor little guy.
We had a great thanksgiving (which I forgot to take pictures at) with a few new friends from our ward
but unfortunately b got hurt on the tramp.
turns out dentist don't work on the thanksgiving holiday because unless you are braden there aren't many tooth emergencies. So Troy ended up taking him into work and giving him a cat scan to see if he broke any bones in his face because his face was hugely swollen and turned black and blue- this picture doesn't do it justice and i forgot to take more pics with the bruising- this only shows a little of the swelling and that he looks strange.
(on a funny note troy had to take him to the er and have them put in a request for the scan- it looks a little fishy for him to put in an order for his on son for a broken face- so when the doc asked Braden he said he got "beat up by a girl"- so that is on the official medical record of why the scan was ordered!! soo funny- he may never live that down one day)
turns out the tooth was hit to the back, pushing the roots to the front- and breaking the bone that holds his tooth in place. poor poor kid was really in a lot of pain from it, and the broken bone caused a lot of pain and swelling plus he was terrified of going back to the dentist.
The dentist decided to leave it there since the bone broke, but the tooth didn't- so he now has a nice brown crooked tooth up front. lovely. good thing he doesn't care!
Happy Thanksgiving- may next year be a little less painful!
