5 year old + bat = stitches and knocked out tooth:(

Yesterday at work I got a frantic call from Taylor. "Mom, Dad needs you. It's an emergency." I could hear Bretty screaming bloody murder in the background. Not a good call.... It turns out Easton was practicing hitting the baseball off the tee and he didn't see Brett. Easton clocked him one smack in the mouth with a metal bat. He chipped a tooth down to the gum and made hamburger of his upper gums. Jeremy took him to the ER and 5 1/2 hours later he came back with stitches in his upper gums, a tear in his frenulum (that little piece of tissue that connects your gums to your upper lip), and MRI to check for a broken jaw, a fat lip out to China, and a pulled tooth (the root was too exposed to save).Here are the 2 buddies yesterday before the accident...oh- look at all those teeth:( And, then here they are today...
Michael says he kind of looks like a duck- it's kinda true:) With that fat lip he has a beak! Well, another day in the life of 5 boys....

p.s. On the bright side- he probably won't bite anymore and get me kicked out of the gym:)
