Busted Lip and Dentist!

One week after Elleigh's surgery, all is well and the weather is gorgeous! We went out side to play and after about 30min Zoey falls, face first on our concrete patio. Brad jumps up, grabs her, and we see blood! Blood is everywhere and Zoey is screaming! She's busted lips before but never like this! 
Once we get her all cleaned up, while she is still screaming, we noticed that one of her front teeth was loose. We called the dentist and he said to bring her in.
 I was very nervous about this because she has never been to the dentist before. With her mommy and Binky by her side, she bravely faced the unknown!
 They took x-rays. She even laughed a little when they put the heavy vest on her.
 Then she opened nice and wide for Dr. Davong to check out everything. 
The tooth was indeed loose but nothing to worry about. It would strengthen back up in a couple of weeks. He told us just to keep her pain under control (duh) and only give her soft foods for a few days.
She did GREAT!
For dinner that night, I made malt-o-meal...Zoey's favorite. But she wouldn't touch it and cried the whole time. She was so scared it was going to hurt.
By bedtime, the tears had subsided and she snuggled up with her princesses....they made her feel all better!
 She went to school the next day with a smile on her face. 
Here we are a week later and it looks a lot better! She is still scared to eat some stuff but her lip is completely healed and her tooth is almost tightened back up!
We survived another big boo-boo...
