Ace Bleeds

Ace was bleeding badly the other day.

Well, Daddy was at home and playing with him and you know.. when the boys get together, they play rough games..

I think overall, Ace was a lot rougher than Daddy cos he has no concept of safety and doesn’t seem to have any fear of falling, of hurting other people or of hurting himself…

Anyway, Ace was trying to bounce up and down and suddenly lost a footing, fell down and knocked his jaws against Daddy’s thighs… and then he gave a blood curdling scream and started crying VERY VERY LOUDLY.

Gee… I have never seen my son cry so loudly before even when he hurt himself of fell down previously… remember the time he fell and had a big bruise on his forehead? (http://verityy.blogspot.com/2006/02/whats-big-blue-and-swollen.html) He didn’t cry that loudly as well…

When we looked at his face, then we realized why…

He was probably in a lot of pain because his his gums were bleeding and his teeth were all red but we couldn’t figure out where the blood was coming from. As he cried and cried, the blood mixed with his saliva and there was a rim of red around his lips…

I quickly used tissue to wipe the blood off but we still did not know how to stop the bleeding as we had no idea where the bleeding was. At last resort, we gave him VP to take cos I remembered that Aunty Rebecca said that when her grandson fell down and hurt his head, she used the VP and bleeding stopped completely.

After taking 2 VP, he stopped crying but when we looked at his teeth (btw, Ace has got 7 teeth now.. 4 prominent ones and 3 that are coming out…) his teeth did not seemed aligned anymore….

“Dun tell me he knocked his teeth crooked.. my thighs so hard meh?” Daddy asked me…

It seems so improbable for that to happen.. so we tried to play silly games with him like Peek-a-boo to make him laugh and smile… and his teeth did really seem kind of crooked cos while his two front upper and lower teeth used to be centralized… his front lower teeth seem to have shifted like 1 teeth space to the left.. so strange…

Then Daddy had a very good observation. “Maybe he is the one who shifted his jaw to one side cos if he closed this jaws together now, it hurts his wound…”

Well, and I guess daddy was right cos after a few hours when we tried to make him luff to look at his teeth again, it was okay already…

Phew… scared me to death man... Thank god for VPLUS!
