My lip injury

Almost 2 weeks ago, I got in a small accident when I was at Jumpin' Jacks. It's a new place here in town that has lots of those blow-up, bounce house things. I was running and another girl was running from the other direction and we both weren't paying attention to where we were going and ran into each other. My tooth went right though my lip and my other teeth cut some of the skin inside my mouth. The little girl's mom said she was a nurse and that I needed stitches. But my Mom and Dad didn't think so because I had stopped bleeding by the time I got home. And there was already a scab on the outside of my mouth. I didn't want stitches either. My teeth and gums were sore and bruised. I didn't want anyone touching them, but I was okay. I could hardly eat anything too. I drank through a straw for the first day or two and had to take some pain reliever. It was hard for me to do that.

By Saturday night, I was feeling really tired and lethargic (my Mom's word) so I went to bed. (My picture show's how tired I looked). And I didn't even want my Mom taking that picture either. But she begged me and I said okay. When I woke up in the morning my lip had swollen up really big. My Mom and Dad became worried so we called our dentist, David Stevens, who lives in our Ward. He came by to see me Sunday night. He was worried that my lip had an infection in it. So he called the pharmacy up and gave me a prescription for some antibiotics. By Tuesday my lip looked lots better. And I was feeling better too. I went yesterday to see Dr. Stevens again and he said that my lip looked really good. He told me I have some scar tissue inside my mouth that might need to come off later in my life if it bugs me too much as I get older. My lip got a good report, but my Mom wasn't happy about my newly acquired cavity! Ooops!

Kason, you should have your mom post the picture of you with that huge bump on your head from a few years ago. That was the BIGGEST bump I have ever seen on anyone. This story reminded me of that. So maybe your friends might want to see it too... :)
Love ya bunches

Hi Kason...that is so funny that Leslie commented on your bump because I was TOTALLY thinking of the same thing! OUCH! You've had some good ones! You are one tough kid! (Tell your mom she needs to watch you better! Tell your mom I'm just kidding too!

Hey Buddy....always let your mom take pictures when you get hurt, when you grow up you will like to look at them. Oh, by the way, having scar tissuse is totally cool, just ask little Kenny he has it everywhere....and yes I took pictures of him everytime he got hurt..............:)
