teeth through lip

[janeyo]

My little boy (2 last saturday) slipped getting of of the bath and put his teeth right through his lip last night.

It stopped bleeding quite quickly but I know he will have a little scar as I have one in the same place form doing a similar thing at the same age.

The poor wee thing looks like he's been in a fight today!

My eldest was panicking and shouting 'mummy come quick, Dominic's cut himself and there's blood everywhere'... I was watering the pots and greenhouse and OH was in charge. Feel bad as I wasn't there although I know he would prob have still slipped even if I'd bene there too.

Yesterday seems to be the day for accidents!! my 5 year old fractured her arm in 4 places!

[janeyo]

OUCH! She wins then! Did she need an op? Poor thing.

[Incy]

Poor things both of them! Give them a big hug from me!

[Nicos]

Eww...both sound not nice...hope they both feel a bit better soon- things like that happening to my kids really makes my tummy do a flip
Big hugs to the kids..and moms too xx

[janeyo]

Think we will go see Grandma, she is much better at the tlc than me lol

Luckily no op was needed as they were clean fractures??? From what i could understand from the doc ( his name was Boris and he had a severe accent ) the fractures weren't split so didn't need splint or metal plates to pull bones back together, i didn't know there was different types of fractures! she basically has 4 "rips" in her lower arm bones.

At 2 years my son had a paddy in the kitchen cos I was late feeding him and he was tired and hungry ( yup....bad mother)
he threw himself forwards face first into the fridge door- I heard a cracking of bone as his face slid down the door- jerking his neck right back)

I honestly thought I heard his neck breaking....I burst into tears with relief when I realised it was his tooth snapping and gouging out a piece of the new () fridge door.

kids!!!!!!

( bet your OH feels bad too??)

Son no 3 picked up son no 4 when they were little and promptly dropped him on his face, he had a very bad cut lip and the doctor sent him to hospital cos he thought it would need stitching but by the time we got there hospital said it would be far worse to stitch now. He is now 21 and still has a small scar that is more prominant when he is tired. Ice lollies are very good for cut lips, give him lots of those, they help to stop the bleeding and the swelling.


I forgot to say son no 3 did it again picked up son no 4 and dropped him just when his lip was healing .... Boys

On the plus side Janeyo, when he gets older he will look 'ard cos he's got a scar.
Hope the little fella feels better soon.

Oooh Poor little chap...I hate tongue/mouth injuries...they really know how to bleed don't they!
Daisy bit right through her tongue when she was a toddlie...she's still got two little holes either side of her tongue,I tell her it's her little quirk & she should be proud!

At least she could have a piercing there and not have the hassle of having it pierced lol

Poor lad! I know how he feels. When I was around 10 I flew across the handlebars of my "Chopper" bike, bit the tarmac, ended up having stitches and looked like Mick Jagger for ages! Oh, and I've got "falsies" at the front of my mouth. (How could I forget that?!!)

Fortunately children heal very quickly. I hope both of them are feeling better now.

My little boy (2 last saturday) slipped getting of of the bath and put his teeth right through his lip

I did that, falling down some caravan steps age 2 (I maintain I was pushed )

I have a scar inside and outside my lower lip, but had forgotten all about it until you posted.
